From the museum, continue north on the road for 4 miles to the historic company town and millsite of Kennicott. The lands and structures of Kennicott are privately owned, please exercise respect and extreme caution when hiking and exploring in this area. From Kennicott, the trail continues north along the moraine of Kennicott and Root Glaciers. Follow a small trail approximately 50 yards upstream where the stream and washout area can be crossed more easily. Avoid walking near the edge of Root Glacier as rotting ice and swift, cold water are potentially dangerous.
Bears are present in the area.
