    Thank you for your feedback Jeroen, we're sorry to hear that part of the itinerary didn’t align with the actual logistics on the ground. You're absolutely right that the route from Francés to Grey Glacier and back in a single day is paramount impossible, but the Glacier is not the intended destination. The Itinerary mentions the Gray Glacier Lookout, were you can appreciate the fantastic views of the park, including the Glacier itself. We’ll review this itinerary detail with the local operator to ensure it's accurate and realistic for future travelers. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope you were still able to enjoy the incredible scenery and experience of the W Trek overall.
