Hiking Avalanche Lake Trail, Glacier National Park

Join me as I take a very enjoyable hike along The Trail of the Cedars and Avalanche Lake to one of the most spectacular views in all of Glacier National Park. Even though this is a very popular and busy trail I managed to have a great encounter with one of the four legged locals.

Nice vid. I was there many moons ago... ('94?). I walked beyond the logjam and followed the lake to where the three waterfall streams come together on the other end and feed the lake. I had my fishing rod, of course. Found a spot with a day-old pile of grizz scat. Threw out a line and caught some really nice cutthroats... All the while singing with gusto The Ballad of Jed Clampett and Day Tripper. Fortunately, no bears. Thanks for the memory. sw

Defiantly one of my favorite hikes in Glacier. If I ever make it back there I would start this hike at daybreak to avoid the crowds.

That was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes! I like your idea of trying to figure out how to stay there forever. I am going to watch it again tomorrow. Happy hiking!
