N O R T H A M E R I C A' S L A R G E S T SKI AND SNO WBOARD RENTAL DELIVERY SERVICE Located in the Many Glacier Area on the east side of the park, this trail starts at the Swiftcurrent Pass Trailhead, near the far end of the parking area at Swiftcurrent Motor Inn. The path is gradual and suitable for hikers of all ages. A mixture of sun and shade, the trail takes you along a chain of lakes on the valley floor. The first lake is Fishercap Lake, which is a great place to stop and take a sip of water. The second is RED ROCK LAKE, which offers beautiful swimming beaches. If you'd like to hike to the falls, make your way to the head of the lake, where you'll find dozens of great places to sit, have lunch, and take a few pictures. SPECS: 4.2 miles round trip with 285 feet of elevation gain. Bathrooms are available at Swiftcurrent Motor Inn. INSIDER TIP: This trail can be an easy out-and-back or the start of a more strenuous hike. If you have extra energy once you make it to the falls, keep going to Bullhead Lake. If you'd like to go even further, the trail winds over Swiftcurrent Pass, to Granite Park Chalet, and down Going-to-the-Sun Road. This is an advanced route, and only suitable for expe- rienced hikers. 4 RED ROCK LAKE AND FALLS Red Rock Lake CONTINUED
