The guide wanted to take the two RV Gypsies and Ilse Blahak on a long hike to the other side of the lake where they would actually climb up sheets of ice such as the one shown here, but they said they would rather just walk and explore more of the less strenuous areas.

Below: The guide and Karen Duquette put some of the glacier mud on their face and hands because it is said to be good for the skin. Then they had to wash their face and hands in some icy cold glacier water. Ilse and Lee declined the offer to do so.
