This trail departs from the back of the lodge and heads south towards Alien Bowl. It gains elevation through boulders and meadows toward Alien bowl and then cuts back to gain the rocky ledges from which you get a bird’s eye view of Icefall Lodge, Espresso ridge, Sunny ridge, the LaClytte glacier and more.

Once above the ledges, the trail follows a long bench made up of rock slabs; flat and carved almost perfectly smooth by the glacier. Follow the cairns all the way to the back of the bowl until you reach Ice Pass. At the pass, there is a spectacular view of the Rostrum Valley.

Ice Pass makes for a good lunch spot/turnaround point.

*Ice Pass is halfway between Icefall Lodge and the Rostrum Cabin.
