    Hiking

    Saint Mary's Lake is fed by the melting Saint Mary's Glacier. There is a paid parking area below the lake with restrooms and informational signs. The hike up to the lake is extremely popular, but the further you push past the lake, the fewer people you will encounter.

    Running

    Fed by the snowmelt of Saint Mary's Glacier, this alpine lake is set in stunning scenery just half a mile from the parking area. The beginning of the trail is often heavily trafficked with hikers and other runners, but the further you continue past the lake, the quieter the trail becomes.
