The Avalanche Lake trail has been closed due to bear activity, so we were really excited when it was opened again! We got there early enough that we had to wait in the car until it was light enough to see the trail. It’s about 6 miles round trip and well worth it. A family of deer wandered around us for a little while, until the fawns went up the hill and the mom went down. We waited while they called to each other and the fawns finally crossed the path to follow the mom. It was another gorgeous area of GNP, next time we come, we’ll try to get there earlier in the year when the waterfalls would be more full. Smoke from wildfires moved in, in the afternoon, so we were very lucky we got to go when we did.
