Glacier Lake is one of these beautiful alpine lakes in the Lakes Basin. You are allowed to pitch your tent, but campfires are prohibited due to heavy use of the area.

Hiking

This jewel toned lake at the base of Eagle Cap and Glacier Peak is a popular destination in the Eagle Cap Wilderness. While it is a long hike in, the miles and elevation gain is worth the reward. There are some decent campsites in the basin, but you must be sure to be at least 100 feet from the water's edge.
