United States Montana Avalanche
Avalanche Lake
A scenic alpine lake located in Montana's Glacier National Park, known for crystalline waters surrounded by steep mountain peaks and waterfalls.
Tips from the community
Avalanche lake via Trail of the Cedars was probably one fo the easiest hikes I have done in the Glacier area.
It is highly trafficked, and often less bear traffic because of this.
It is shaded almost the entire way to the lake.
And only about 1 hour each way. Give or take an hour for taking it all in and going slow.
The reward at the end would make you think you did a lot more work to get there. Beautiful panoramic views of the lake and surrounded by tall mountains in a 360 degree all around you.
The only struggle you will have on this hike is finding parking and trying to keep more than 5 feet of space in front of or behind you to the next group of hikers.
if you were going to do any Glacier hikes alone, this would probably be the only one I would suggest.

My Favorite Hikes in Glacier National Park
skipper (Skipper ) Not one hike will lead you astray of beauty in Glacier National Park. If you see signs cautioning of Bear activity. Please heed the warnings and pick a different trail. Humans are the most dangerous factors of the bears natural environments. Give them space and don't leave any food on the trails. Leave no Trace. Enjoy some of the most beautiful places on earth, but be respectful and follow trail rules. Glacier National Park had over 150 Glaciers in 1850. Now there are less than 25 remaining. These are truly once in a lifetime experiences.Best things to do at Glacier National Park
