Avalanche Lake Hike West Glacier Montana Hiking

Avalanche Lake hike trail is one of the most popular hikes in Glacier National Park. It's  agentle grade and beautiful destination. 

 Not far from West Glacier entrance.

 Entrance to Glacier National Park

 My sister was able to visit from out of state. The bears were a big attraction for them.
 The Avalanche Lake Trail is located in the Lake McDonald area and begins on the Trail of the Cedars, a boardwalk that winds between boles of huge cedars and cottonwoods to Avalanche Gorge. 


 The trail is 2 miles and gains 500 feet and it's a moderate half day hike!

There were several waterfalls but hard to see in the photos. It was beautiful!!
 My first time to see this weird thing...a slug of some sorts!

 We had a great hike and can't wait to do it again!!
