11 Best Hikes in Glacier National Park for Every Skill Level

"Get a taste of everything that makes Montana’s Rocky Mountains so special at Avalanche Lake. Start at Trail of the Cedars and walk until you reach Avalanche Creek where you will follow signs to Avalanche Lake trail. After meandering through a forest of cedar and hemlock trees you'll arrive at the water, formed by the melted snow and ice of Sperry Glacier. After completing the first half of your hike, enjoy a picnic or a dip at the beach area—despite the name, the lake tends to be warm in the summer."
