The Comox Glacier at 2143m (2430 feet) dominates the valley from almost every angle and it is an icon of the Comox Valley.

The shortest and most accessible route to the glacier is by foot along the Comox Glacier Trail and it takes about 3 days (in and out). This trail leads partly through privately owned land and is not always open - inquire if you want to spend 3 days in the wild!

The ice was formed over eons as huge snowfalls from countless winter storms blowing in from the ocean accumulated and compressed into glacial ice.
