The bus leaves every 30 minutes, or is it on the hour. Anyway, drive is maybe 15 minutes. It returns at a certain time. Figure 15 minutes at visitor center. If you decide to take the trail to get closer, add 20 mins or so each way. This is how the whole thing can take some time.You could just ride the bus. Look out the window and see the glacier and ride back. Depending on the timing, you might be able to get out of the bus for 5-10 minutes before it returns to town. Some said the city bus is more frequent but longer due to all the stops. While we were waiting for the $5 bus, the city bus came and went a few times. The day we went, the $5 bus ran once an hour. Your mileage may vary.
