Angel Glacier once was a glacier that looked like an angel with wings. Unfortunately most of the body already melted, so that nowadays only the angel wings are left, leaving a small waterfall, that fills a lake with floating icebergs. A beautiful place after a short hike from the parking lot. If you want to hike some more, there is another trail that starts at the glacier viewpoint. Enjoy!

You can also see from the photos that the glacier is getting smaller. Otherwise the opposite trail is really nice to run. It is still breathtaking.
