The hike along Avalanche Creek to the Lake is 4.5 miles round trip and only has a 730 ft elevation gain. It is a popular hike and you’ll run across more people here because it starts near a campground and is pretty easy. The hike starts out in the woods, so we were pretty chilly. We were also rewarded pretty quickly with little waterfalls as the creek meandered along.
Isn’t that blue water just amazing!
As the sun got higher in the sky, the colors muted, but it was still a beautiful walk. Eventually, our wooded walk opened up to this view -
and the most fantastic stone-skipping lake :).
Because the hike was so short, we felt no need to rush kids along, so we just enjoyed soaking in the views and watching them explore.
We finished our day with a short drive to McDonald Lake where our 3 youngest swam to their hearts content and the rest of us played a game in the shadow of this majestic mountain range.
