I recommend A double. Do Avalanche lake. Once you get to the lake enjoy the view then head down the hidden trail to complete the lake trip. The hidden trail isn't really hidden. Go up the wide stairs and go left. A sign will sail trail ends. KEEP GOING. The trail is spectacular. It's got a couple trees you'll have to navigate over and under. Worth the effort though. It's around 4.5mi round trip. In order to be undisturbed hit the trail at 6am plenty of light and no people. Dress in layers it starts a little chilly and you'll want to remove some clothes as you go. Then hit John's lake loop. You'll find its about the same distance round trip. You'll have a better chance of seeing wildlife. BRING BEAR SPRAY. high probability of seeing them in these areas. Best of luck. Happy travels! Finish with a meal from Eddies Cafe!

Grinell Glacier or Highline. Really depends on what part of the park you are in. I've hiked 300+ miles of the park, and those two are probably on the top for day hikes. Avalache has too many people, but is still beautiful. Iceberg lake is another good one!

I agree with Avalanche.... it was awesome. Looked like Jurassic World when all the melt off waterfalls were happening early this June. The lake is beautiful, the river on the way is awesome, and the trail is very well maintained. It didn't take us long. Not an all day hike. Just a few miles. grinnell glacier trail is phenomenal as well. And much longer. Go later in the summer if you want the sun road through the park to be fully open.

DayHike...in my opinion...Hidden Lake Overlook near Logan Pass. 2.8 miles roundtrip (very short) and my nd numbing scenery in a subalpine environment.

I totally disagree. The best hiking by far is in the Many Glacier region of the park!

Depends on your physical ability and how long and how high in elevation you want to hike. They have maps of all the trails, how long, etc iat the park.
