We parked at the other parking, not the main one, and walked the small trail (marked as red - difficult) up the hill. It is not really difficult, only compared to the other way from the main parking marked as blue, it is more wild (& more fun) :) In total it took us 2h walking up, staying and the waterfall taking fotos and coming back down. Be careful as some part of the trail might be covered by ice in winter (very slippery).

The glacier is a nice hike away from the visitor center, I’m guessing a bit over a mile each way. The hike is worth doing as you get to enjoy the scenic views surrounding you. Once there, you can walk around the large open area. There looks to be the beginnings of a lagoon with a small stream of glacier water pouring into it. You can get close to the glacier and some folks were climbing up the sides of the glacier. Fantastic experience. There is parking and a cafeteria at the visitor center.

Without knowing too much about this monument, it was a stark contrast to see hunks of metal jutting from rocks in a desolate area.
