Friends of mine are trail crew leader in Glacier and all the other surrounding parks/forests and their first suggestion was the trail of the cedars and Avalanche Lake. It's through the West entrance and is very busy so unless you get there ver early, it's best to park near the entrance and take a shuttle. The cedars, a beautiful waterfall and River are minutes from the trailhead while avalanche lake is about 2.5 miles out (total 5mi as it is an out and back). Almost no elevation gain and it's a very well kept trail. You can swim at avalanche but it's very cold. Bring bear spray and have fun!
I agree with Daniel Morrissette, Avalanche Lake is one of the shorter trails (3 miles each way) and is very scenic throughout, so it's still enjoyable if he can't make it to the end.
We agree with Daniel
Many Lakes area has easy trails around water and scenic views. Great Hotel! Check out the huge fireplace!
We enjoyed seeing Baring Falls Saint Mary's Falls and Virginia Falls. There is a section in between Baring Falls and St Mary that gets you to the shore line. Baring falls is a nice gentle area where you can get close to the water and the falls safely.
