Visit 07/22 Easy - moderate hike (depending upon your level). Stunning views the entire hike, end result - avalanche lake - is definitely a must see. I don’t recall a restroom but i do see on the map it says there’s one of some sort. Overall I would highly recommend for anyone to go and enjoy.

Great hike with views along a stream and then yo a glacial lake. We extended the hike by going to the other end. I recommend going early to secure parking. Be prepared for some mud in the spring.

For fit people this is an easy hike. Well worth it! It's more of a walk in the forest, along a stream, view at the end was spectacular! Can't swim in it, water is too mirky, but got superb photos! Saw a bear, elk, deer, a blue jay... Lots of lush vegetation.

Unbelievable experience. Hiked this trail to Avalanche Lake in October 2021. It was a steady rain the entire hike. Didn’t see more than 4 or 5 people the whole hike. It was stunningly beautiful to witness the raging water in the river and waterfalls and the rain on the lake. I would absolutely recommend this hike. Moderate in length and difficulty with a huge reward. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever experienced.

Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park is indeed a stunning destination, and the Avalanche Lake Trail is one of the most popular hikes in the park. The trail is approximately 4.5 miles round trip with a moderate elevation gain, making it accessible for many visitors. As you hike through the lush cedar-hemlock forest, you'll be surrounded by towering mountains and the soothing sounds of Avalanche Creek. When you reach the lake, you're greeted by a breathtaking view of the crystal-clear lake, framed by rugged peaks and cascading waterfalls that tumble down the surrounding cliffs. It's a perfect spot to relax, take photos, or even enjoy a picnic. If you're planning to visit, be sure to arrive early, as the trailhead parking lot can fill up quickly, especially during the summer months. Also, remember to bring bear spray, as Glacier National Park is home to both black and grizzly bears. This hike is truly a must-see for anyone exploring Glacier National Park!
