It was defintiely worth something to do at least once... I did the climb from the back side which I believe is easier and then went down the front side. Many people just come up the front, see the glacier and ride back down never seeing the back side. The back side was fascinating - I actually rode through a snow tunnel. I also saw 3 bears (at different times) and a big stag. There was alot of black ice on the road which made it alittle scary but thankfully not alot of cars on the climb; most come up the front side. The ride down was thrilling to say the least... fast and scary but the views... good grief that is a beautiful place!
