Really nice hostel, we spent a lot of time in the hot tub waiting for the weather to clear so we could get a helicopter to take us up to the top of the Glacier. Apparently it's amazing but we didn't get to see it because the weather never did clear up. Instead we just ended up wrinkly from spending too long sitting in the jacuzzi. Oh well. We did go kayaking one evening on mirror lake, called so because the water is so dark and still it reflects like a mirror. Pretty cool.

Here are some pics:
