Oldman Lake Trail Details
You get a little taste of it all on this hike to a charming alpine lake. You'll hike through open meadows, pine forests, aspen groves, and even a forest of dead whitebark pine trees, killed by a fungal disease and mountain pine beetles. Oldman Lake sits at the base of Mt. Morgan and is encircled by several peaks. If you feel ambitious you can climb up to Pitamakan Pass (it's another 750 feet up) for a wider view. But you'll likely find yourself perfectly content on the shore of this alpine lake. Remember, Glacier is grizzly country. Carry bear spray, make noise and travel in groups. The trailhead is at Two Medicine Campground.
