Prepare for a breathtaking reward at the end of a challenging but stunning hike to Cracker Lake. Starting from the Many Glacier Hotel parking area, this 12.6-mile roundtrip trail leads you through forests and across open ridges to a lake of the most incredible turquoise color you can imagine, fed by glaciers. The path has a steady incline and is well-known for wildlife sightings, so keep your eyes peeled for moose and bears. It's a full day's adventure, but the moment you see that vibrant water against the mountain backdrop, you'll know every step was worth it.

Always check in advance websites if the trail is open. There is lot of closures because of grizzly bears. It's always written on nps.gov, AllTrails.com or you can check in Many Glacier Hotel.
