Crossing the Continental Divide, hike through small mountain meadows and forests to the shores of a picturesque little lake. Look for elk in the meadows and for birds near the lake. Safety notes: Trail opens in mid-July ( Bear Management Area closure ) or later if trumpeter swans are nesting on the lake. Check the Backcountry Situation Report for current information. Trailheads: Approximately 3 miles (5 km) south of the Grant Village intersection, just south of the Continental Divide sign.

Tips
Closed for bear management until mid-July every year. Flat and easy once open, with a small sandy beach at the lake.
