9.5 miles - 2150 feet elevation gain
Glacier Gorge TH
We took the shortcut trail up, Alberta Falls way down. This is a classic, well worth the effort. You get the Loch, Timberline falls, Lake of Glass, and then Sky Pond at the end. A good warm up hike for those that are gonna do bigger things.
We ran for a mile or so on the way down. Had two people fall and skin themselves up, and other hikers that did not like the thundering herd.
