A supraglacial stream cutting through the surface of Canwell Glacier in late spring, shortly after a fresh dusting of snow.

Canwell Glacier and Rainbow Basin – Hiking Guide

Hiking guide to the Canwell Glacier and Rainbow Basin region of the Alaska Range. Maps, routes with descriptions, and photos to help you plan your adventure!
A narrow supraglacial meltwater stream flows through a shallow channel carved into the surface of Canwell Glacier. The water is pale blue and partially turbulent as it moves between snow-covered ice banks. Fresh snow lightly coats the glacier surface, highlighting the edges of the channel and scattered rocks embedded in the ice. In the background, gently rising glacier ice and exposed ice faces fade into an overcast sky, giving the scene a cold, muted appearance typical of late spring conditions on an Alaskan glacier.
