Day 18: Avalanche Lake

Today we hiked the "Trail of the Cedars" all the way to Avalanche Lake, both of which were absolutely stunning. Surprisingly, we were able to find parking, which is always a challenge at any of the trail heads in Glacier National Park. With bear spray and photo gear in tow we hiked through the beautiful forest. The vegetation and look of the forest here is quite different from Yellowstone, with more moss and fern covering the forest floor. The sun came out as we arrived at the lake, emphasizing its beautiful color.
