Take an early start, a lot of people want to do this beauty of 10 miles . The trailhaed is easy to find behind the swiftcurrent hotel (parking lot). The walk is at some moments posted for bears or even closed. The Path is at the sunny side, while the iceberg lake and glacier are only a limited time in... More

Absolutely great. Overall Glacier National Park is super awesome. This is one of the best among all that greatness. I went on a ranger led hike which was wonderful.

The hike had gorgeous mountain views all the way to Iceberg Lake. The lake was filled with mini "icebergs." It was a beautiful place & great for a picnic. We saw a huge moose along the trail. This is a hike not to be missed!

This trail and the lake at the end are a must do. We has perfect weather and started early to enjoy sometime on the trail without a lot of people . It is a popular trail. We were lucky. The trail had to be closed when we were coming down due to aggressive bear activity. We got to finish our... More

Did this hike in August 2012. First 1/2 mile is hard, but then it's moderate the rest of the way. It's a gradual incline to the lake, but makes the return trip quite easy. The lake is drop dead gorgeous, and well worth the 10 mile round trip hike. However it is 10 miles, so make sure you're in decent... More

Bear grass is special in this park and the flowers are just amazing. We went in late July and the bear grass was blooming on this trail. Iceberg lake itself is amazing; together with the bear grass, they make the trail one of the most scenic ones in the park. Chances for bear encounters too--we saw one about 30 yard... More

My husband and I did this hike in late June and while the lake was still covered in snow/ice the trail was still well worth it. We took a 9:00am ranger-led hike. The ranger was great, he was full of knowledge and kept the large group entertained along the way. Plus, traveling with a guide and a full group made... More

The hike is one of our favorites, through all types of terrain and the final approach to Iceberg Lake is worth every step.

We did this hike for two reasons, first, we could easily take the spur up to the lake after going to the tunnel in a day, and second, we heard that Grizzlies like to hang out there. Well, we didn't see any Grizzlies but we did see some bighorns and have marvelous views the whole time.

The leaves were changing when we were there so it was a beautiful time to visit. It was my husband's first time seeing an iceberg. They are small but he was thrilled to see them.
