Avalanche Lake Trail

While we were in Glacier National Park we did a fantastic and easy hike called Avalanche Lake. The trail starts at the Trail of the Cedars and is located 6 miles east of the Lake McDonald Lodge. The trail is only 4.5 miles long with a mere 730 feet elevation gain. On the day of our hike the weather was a bit cool and the clouds were hung low. This moody weather not only made for beautiful photographs, but made us feel right at home. 

Jasper was a little restless once we arrived at the lake, but once we were back on the trail he feel asleep quickly. Like all good hikes they usually involve a nap for our little guy. 

After our hike, we went to the Lake McDonald Lodge and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and abundant flowers on the grounds.
