It&#8217;s less than 5 miles in total, &#8220;door-to-door&#8221; from the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a big hiker and had already had a couple of false starts on this trip to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/glac\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Glacier National Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When we tried to go to St. Mary&#8217;s Falls, we realized we followed the wrong map and ended up with a much longer hike than we had time for. We had to go back before getting to the falls, which was pretty disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>So on this hike, I was determined to get to the lake no matter how long it took! And I&#8217;m glad I did, it was a beautiful, fairly easy hike with great photo opportunities. It would be great hike to do with kids.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-content in-content-link\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>READ MORE: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dqtravel.net\/glacier-national-park-with-kids\/\">More great tips for Glacier NP with kids.<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Avalanche Lake Trail, Glacier National Park<\/h2>\n<p>You start this hike on the Trail of Cedars which is a super-easy &#8220;accessible&#8221; loop. About half a mile in, you detour to on the Avalanche Lake trail to the lake which is 2 miles out.<\/p>\n<p>So in total, it adds up to about 5 miles. Enough to do in an afternoon, and still get some blood pumping.<\/p>\n<h2>Avalanche Gorge<\/h2>\n<p>There are two main exciting views on this hike. One is the gushing gorge which is very close to the start of the Avalanche Lake trail.<\/p>\n<p>Since I was so determined to get to the lake, I decided not to dilly-dally at the gorge, although I made a mental note to come back to it.<\/p>\n<p>And I did. The gorge is surrounded by lush greenery that looks incredible against the shocking white of the water.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9906 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/avalanche-lake-trail-533x800.jpg\" alt=\"Avalanche Lake Trail\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" \/><div id=\"wp-image-9906-exif\" class=\"exif\"><div class=exifleft><div class=exiflabel class=exposure>Exposure<\/div><div class=value>1\/50s &#402;\/8 @ ISO 320<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=focal_length>Focal Length<\/div><div class=value>18mm<\/div><\/div><div class=exifright><div class=exiflabel class=camera>Camera<\/div><div class=value>Canon EOS 70D<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=created_timestamp>Date & Time<\/div><div class=value>June 9, 2017, 4:13 pm<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>It amazed me how powerful the water is. I never see that in California, especially with the drought in the last decade, the best you see on most hikes is a babbling brook that dries out after spring.<\/p>\n<p>And the plants around it practically glow with life.
