After researching for a unique and peaceful gateway I came across Under Cavas Glacier online. Upon arriving however, after the sun had gone down, there was an immediate understanding that the stay would be far from peaceful. There were so many people in vehicles that it was hard to find parking just to simply check in. Not to mention loud sounds coming from all the conversations happening around the premises. The tent “upgraded to deluxe” due to private bathroom offered was clean, simple, and the bed and shower were both very inviting to use. However, using the shower and trying to fall asleep proved that you cannot judge a book by its cover. Although initially impressed by the mere fact that a tent could produce a hot water shower, unfortunately it was set near boiling temperatures, rendering it almost unusable. As bedtime arrived the parties outside continued and the highway traffic and train both noise from the tracks and whistle were laughably loud and obnoxious- location, location, location.
It being a canvas tent there is zero noice insulation to the outside world. If only we could have heard a little bit of wilderness. The fireplace was a joke and with random smoke alarms going off throughout the entire evening proved we weren’t the only tenants having issues. I appreciate the effort from under canvas glacier for what it’s worth but the pricing is so far north from properly representing the realities of staying there.
