Cracker Lake is another splendid trail to experience in Glacier. The spectacular trail scenery seems like settings on movies and television shows.
The trail follows the west bank of Canyon Creek, ascending moderately. At approximately 5.6 miles, you reach the foot of Cracker Lake. Few walks would thereafter lead to the Lake Campground.
