Trail Information
Located in the valley between Mount Herman and Table Mountain, this 0.5 mile loop trail winds through meadows punctuated with undersized but very old mountain hemlock–the diminutive products of a very short growing season. Interpretive signs along the way tell the story of the landscape, from volcanic eruptions to ice age glaciers. The first half of the Fire and Ice Trail is universally accessible and culminates with scenic views of Bagley Lakes.
Directions
From Glacier:
