Summary
We chose to try the Portage
Glacier Trail on 10 Jul 2013. The hike
goes up a nearly continuous inclined for a 750 ft elevation change, then back
down (more gently) the full 750 ft to reach the portage glacier lake. We found the hike on the National Park Service map
(NPS Portage Glacier Trail). This page is useful, but someone dated, see
The Hike section of this post for updated information.
