11 Best Hikes in Glacier National Park for Every Skill Level

"This loop trail hike is one of the most popular short hikes in Glacier National Park and one of two wheelchair-accessible hikes. The hike begins and ends on Going-to-the-Sun Road. Walk among gigantic red cedar and black cottonwood trees commonly found in the Pacific Northwest. And bring your binoculars, as this area is home to thrush and swift birds. Continue down the trail another 1.6 miles in order to pair this hike with the Avalanche Lake hike."

This little place, it's highly recommended. We decided not to do the trail of the cedars and go right down the street to red rock, which is a little swimming hole. Incredible little place. Nice place to jump off. Rocks dive in the water, swim to ankle deep crystal clear water. There was tons of people Jumping in the water even little girls at the age of seven nice for families for a good time, after long hikes to cool off.I will be back red rock.You are great.

Very pretty, but because it’s an easy trail it’s very crowded. Get off the paved loop and go a little farther towards Avalanche Lake. Not too far up the trail is Avalanche Creek and it is so beautiful. We didn’t make it to Avalanche Lake but turned around after seeing the creek.

Use the avalanche trail head signs off of the going to the sun road to reach the start of this short and easy .8 miles walk on a boardwalk. Informative signs ong the way tell you about the various trees and vegetation in the area

Easy, shady and gorgeous!! The moss is so incredibly abundant and pouring over everywhere! Beautiful gorge sending water down under the bridge.

This is a super cool nature trail! It’s one really designed for the entire family and people of all ages and abilities. You can do as much or as little of this trail as you want and feel like you really seen something and then in nature.

Easy walk through the woods. You can combine this with avalanche trail if you are decent hiker. Would not take trouble of parking and all just for this trail alone as this doesn’t have much of views. Restrooms in loop and side of main road.

Loved this loop. The wooden path made it feel like I was walking in an old video game. So great to take my 5 year old on, with many great flights. Only negative is parking is terrible, but it's worth it.
