Glacier Lakes chain in the Beartooths draws summer crowds
Original: Sublime NE GYE Lakes District technically starts W side of 3500-3750m ridge behind Glacier Lakes chain. These 2955m lake
A backcountry skier and hiker describes the Glacier Lakes area in the northern Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, noting the alpine lakes district technically begins on the west side of a 3500-3750m ridge behind the chain. Lakes at 2955m sit just 6km up a steep rocky trail at the head of Rock Creek Canyon, making them popular with tourists from mid-June to mid-September, though a recent visit found the area quiet.
Why now: The poster shared fresh trip conditions and detail on a scenic, less crowded alpine destination, which resonates with hikers planning summer routes.
