Glacier lake Trail info: The trail follows an old logging road for a awhile through the forest. It skirts the edge of Glacier Creek, then drops down to the creek. The trail ends at Glacier Lake, with only a rough path along the lake shore.  Glacier Lake is well worth a afternoon or weekend visit. We opted for a day hike. It is an easy hike to the lake.  The trail winds through some beautiful old growth before opening up.  There is one small hill climb to get the ol' heart pumping before you reach the lake.  This is a good early season warm up for the more strenuous summer hiking season.  The lake is set in a small basin surrounded by ridges on all sides.   There is good access to lake shore while the lake is down. But on the one end you have to do a bit of rock climbing, clinging to a rock face, to make it all the way around the lake Fishing-- fishing was surprisingly good considering it was attempted in almost white out and winding conditions. It was a great day of fishing and catching.  Do it again? Sure
