Get ready for a stunning journey to Red Eagle Lake, a real gem tucked away in Glacier National Park. The trail to reach it is a good 16.2-mile round trip, so you'll want to set aside a full day. You'll wander through meadows bursting with wildflowers and areas of forest regrowth from a past fire, which makes for some really unique and beautiful scenery with fantastic birding opportunities. The hike itself is a steady, moderate climb that rewards you with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks reflected in the crystal-clear lake.
