Join us on one of the most popular hikes in Glacier National Park! After traveling past the gorgeous Lake McDonald, we will begin our educational hike at the lush Trail of the Cedars trailhead. We will continue climbing along the Avalanche Lake trail. This boardwalk portion winds through an ancient forest, thick with western red cedars and western hemlocks. We will then continue climbing along the Avalanche Lake trail, getting a chance to marvel at avalanche blowdown, massive glacial erratics, and a glacier-fed cirque basin that leaves every hiker misty-eyed. This day program will provide in-depth education on wildlife, geology, and ecology.
