Route Recorded on Route Scout | Pop | Map | Popup | MapDEX

One of the 5 hikes we planned in Glacier. It was rainy and foggy throughout. The first half mile was on a boardwalk, was somewhat crowded even in lousy weather, but had very striking views of the cedars. The gorge was impressive, with very high flow in Avalanche Creek due to several days of rains, and some aggressive waterfalls. The lake was cold, windy, and rainy, with only a few people who had ventured out that far. The mountains at the far end of the lake with the 100+-foot waterfalls provided a spectacular backdrop. We walked along the lake to the far end. There were no people there, the rain intensified, and the views of the mountains from this end were stunning.

Overall, a nice, easy, flat trail with impressive views at the end, even in pouring rain and thick fog.
