We had a great time going to the ice caves with two kids (2 & 6). The best part we liked about this hike was that strollers can be used. There were few portions were we had to carry the stroller up in arms but a comfortable hike overall. Nice weather but the trail was not crowded. Cold air from the caves was a good experience. Better carry a warm jacket even on warm days if you are planning to go near the caves. As always, it's advisable not to enter in or go on the snow fields. Entrance of some caves were about 12 ft tall and the interiors were dark endlessly. Great experience. On the way to the caves, the metal bridge will make you stop to watch the clear water flowing under it. Near the caves, we also saw some fall colors.
