Tucked away in the heart of Glacier National Park, Elizabeth Lake is a pristine backcountry gem that truly rewards the adventurous. To reach its shores, you'll embark on a memorable hike, with options for every skill level. For a truly spectacular journey, take the challenging trail through the historic Ptarmigan Tunnel, a 9.8-mile trek that offers breathtaking views as you gain over 2,400 feet in elevation. If you're seeking a more moderate approach, the 9.3-mile path along the Belly River Trail provides a gentler walk with minimal elevation change, perfect for soaking in the serene forest landscape.
