Sunisa, Gladys, and Daniel take us on a quick hike to see Lake Josephine in Glacier National Park. Lake Josephine The Lake Josephine Loop hike in Glacier National Park begins from either the boat dock at the Many Glacier Hotel, or from the Grinnell Glacier Trailhead near the Many Glacier Picnic Area. The following describes the hike starting from the Many Glacier Hotel and proceeding in a counter clockwise direction. Since the views from the hotel area are simply spectacular, it would seem to make sense to take advantage of this by seeing them twice – at the beginning, and at the end of your hike. From the Many Glacier Hotel 7600-foot Grinnell Point will be the prominent mountain standing directly across the lake. Angel Wing will flank it towards the southwest, while 9321-foot Mt. Wilbur sits a little further back towards the west. All three mountains provide the perfect backdrop to Swiftcurrent Lake, which just begs to be photographed. Lake Josephine After soaking in the incredibly beautiful views from the dock, hikers should continue along the North Shore Josephine Lake Trail. This section of trail travels between wooded and open areas that offer outstanding views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Hikers will enjoy stunning views of Angel Wing, Mt. Gould and the Garden Wall. Grinnell Glacier is also visible along this stretch. Lake Josephine At roughly 2.7 miles you'll reach the Grinnell Glacier Trail junction. This trail leads to close-up views of Grinnell Glacier, and is considered to be one of the premier hiking destinations in Glacier National Park. To continue on the loop hike you should stay to the left here. At roughly 3.1 miles hikers will reach another side trail that leads to Grinnell Glacier. From here the trail wraps around the west end of the lake, while passing over a series of boardwalks that protect marshy wetlands. Although you can see moose almost anywhere along this loop, this area is especially good moose habitat. At just over 3.3 miles hikers will reach the side trail that leads to Hidden Falls and Grinnell Lake. To continue on the loop you should stay to the left and head towards the south boat dock area, which is only a short distance away. Once past the dock the trail begins to travel through a heavily wooded forest. Much of this stretch is lined with thimbleberries, so it's important to make a lot of noise to let any bears know that you're passing through their territory. After walking a little more than a mile past the boat dock hikers will reach a short side trail that leads to a pebble rock beach. The beach offers stunning views of Grinnell Glacier and Grinnell Falls plummeting towards Grinnell Lake. This is an outstanding spot for an extended break or a picnic lunch. Lake Josephine At roughly 4.6 miles hikers will pass a side trail that leads to the Piegan Pass Trail, and at 4.8 miles will reach the trail that takes you back to Swiftcurrent Lake. Hikers should turn left at this junction. In roughly two-tenths of a mile you'll reach the Swiftcurrent Lake Nature Trail. To continue the loop and proceed towards the Many Glacier Hotel, you should turn right here. Roughly one-quarter of a mile past the junction hikers will pass the Chief Two Guns winter boat house, as well as a private residence for boat employees. As you make your way back to the hotel there will be several short side trails that lead to small beach areas along the lake. Many of these provide excellent views of the surrounding mountains, the Garden Wall, as well as the Many Glacier Hotel. Most of these spots will make for excellent picnic spots, snack breaks, or just another place to soak in the views for a little while longer. This is an excellent hike for anyone in the family. It's mostly flat and has exceptionally beautiful scenery for almost the entire route.
