The Glacier Lake trailhead begins in Wyoming and zigzags its way up and into Montana. One can see its turquoise blue water high above from the Beartooth Pass summit. Glacier Lake offers an afternoon of fishing, hiking, and photography. Located close to Red Lodge, Glacier Lake is also an extremely popular lake, so expect some company on the trail. This trail, while only 2 miles long, is completely uphill. The trail climbs a little more than 1,400 feet in the 2.2 miles to the lake, making it a trail that may be tough for some children or beginners. If your truck or SUV can handle the road, you’ll be rewarded with the opportunity to hike to four different lakes in the basin.
