Glacier Gorge
PARKING
Limited at trailhead. Best bet is to take the
shuttle. Parking at Bear Lake and hiking to the
trailhead adds about a mile.

RATING
Steadily uphill with only one exposed area and a
couple of steeper sections. Fine for flatlanders -
just take your time.
FEATURES
Alberta Falls
The Loch
DESCRIPTION
The Loch is a perennial favorite - many consider
it the most beautiful lake in the park.
SIDETRIPS
Continue up the trail to Timberline Falls, Lake of
Glass and Sky Pond. Mills Lake is a relatively
short detour. An unimproved trail connects to
Lake Haiyaha. From there a popular trail leads to
Dream Lake, Nymph Lake and Bear Lake.
