Grinnell Glacier
Grinnell Glacier is a famous glacier hike inside Glacier National Park. The trail leads to a milky blue lake at the foot of a real river of ice tucked between tall peaks.
Hikers love it for the turquoise lakes and floating chunks of ice along the way. It is one of the best places to stand right next to a shrinking glacier before it melts away.

Ice and Water
Melting ice colors the lake a milky turquoise, and small icebergs sometimes float on the surface.

Mountain Animals
Hikers often spot bighorn sheep and mountain goats resting on the cliffs high above the trail.
