    Timber Lake – 10.4mi / 16.7km This hike strikes a nice balance of length, required effort, and remoteness to give you an extremely scenic alpine lake without the crowds. The trail leaves a picnic area and wanders through the forest before crossing the cascading Beaver Creek. From there, the trail wraps around Jackstraw Mountain and…

    Rising Wolf Mountain prominently sits at the heart of the Two Medicine area in Glacier National Park. The climb is a long slog, but views from the summit are more than rewarding with beautiful valleys, hanging lakes, and summits as far as the eyes can see. A big shout out to Blake Passmore and his…
