Howe Lake Trail
Difficulty Rating:
Howe Lake Trail is an off-the-beaten path trail that takes you on a relaxing journey to Howe Lake. Although not surrounded by mountains like a lot of other trails in Glacier National Park, the end rewards you with stunning lake views and showcases mountain peaks in the distance. This hike also is home to a lot of fire weed and a lot was burned in the fires that took over the park years ago.

Howe Lake Trail Description
The Howe Lake Trail is beautiful and is great for hikers looking for a relaxing journey without much climbing or elevation. The trail follows the signage and takes you to a quaint lake, where you can sit and enjoy a picnic surrounded by wildflowers. This trail differs from others in Glacier National Park as it is not surrounded by mountains, but you still have a stunning view of Howe Lake with the mountains peaks in the distance. When you are ready to leave, head back the way you came as this is an out-and-back trail.
