Avalanche Lake Trail is closed due to damage from flooding

Glacier National Park recently published this blurb on their social media account:

Though not as extensive as our neighbors at Yellowstone NP, Glacier is also experiencing impacts from recent flooding. Many hiking trails are still wet and muddy from the rain and high water. Avalanche Lake Trail is closed due to damage from flooding, and trail crews are working to reopen the trail. Here’s what you can do to help:

Wear appropriate footwear – Be prepared to hike through water and mud to prevent trail widening and consider waterproof hiking boots if you don’t want to get your feet wet.

Respect trail closures - They are there to protect you and the resources. Failure to respect closures can result in ranger citations.

Have a back-up plan if you experience a trail closure – Glacier has hundreds of miles of trails to explore, and each one will show you something special. Try one of the less-traveled trails!
