Since I visited Glacier National Park in May, many of trails were still closed because of snow and ice.
However, I was able to hike one of the most popular trails in the park: the Avalanche Lake Trail.
The 4.6-mile (roundtrip) trail cuts through thick woods, with moderate climbs in elevation. The highlight is the lake, which is rimmed with steep cliffs on three sides.
The melting snow in late spring/early summer creates several waterfalls, which send water cascading down the cliffs.
It’s a must-see for any visitor to the park.
Wow! That looks amazing!
It was a great hike. Thanks for reading.

Thanks Ellen. I sent you a message on Facebook
Beautifully woven! And of course, great pictures 🙂
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Great photos, Jimmy. Do you stay in the park when you visit these parks or are there motels and hotels nearby?
There are hotels nearby, but we stayed in the park. It’s a lot more convenient.
So you camped there?
No, we stayed at a rustic lodge just inside the park. Tiffany isn’t into camping, so that wasn’t an option.
Great pictures! What a beautiful walk/hike area.
Thanks Ellen. It was a great experience.
Amazing photos, those are some stunning views!
Thanks Ryan. Glacier is a beautiful place.
