"This trail begins at the Many Glacier Hotel parking lot—and you'll need to be prepared to share the path with horses. But it'll take you through a forest, before the trees open up and offer a glimpse of rugged mountains beyond, including Mount Siyeh, one of the tallest peaks in the park at 10,019 feet. If you still have energy, you can head to the far end of the lake to see the old Cracker Lake Mine site, which was established in 1897 after copper was discovered nearby. Today, hikers will find remnants of the old mine. Though this trail is long, it is fairly easy to follow, making it ideal for active families."
