| no partners | | Another popular trail in Glacier and another early start. When I was not backpacking in the park, I followed a format of popular trail early in the morning to beat the crowds and then a less popular trail for an afternoon hike. This trail and destination did not disappoint and it is easy to see why it is so popular.
The trail to Iceberg Lake is immaculate and even has pit toilets a few miles in. I hiked this trail with my friend from Hidden Lake and we were the first ones to arrive at the lake thanks to an early start. There were fresh bear prints in the snow on the way to the lake and we saw the source on the way back, a grizzly mom and cub, however, they were so far away, it was hardly much of a viewing experience. The lake was full of floating icebergs, as one might expect and extremely scenic, however, I found the hike into the lake's cirque to be just as rewarding. The Ptarmigan Tunnel was closed at the time of this hike due to snow. |
