Cerulean Lake in Glacier National Park

Almost no one has seen Cerulean Lake first hand (much less swam in it!). The reason is that there is no trail to this beautiful blue lake in Glacier National Park--you have to bushwhack there. Jeremy and Carolan did just that last week. They hiked from Bowman Lake to Quartz Lake, paddled up Quartz, hiked to Cerulean Lake, then floated on that lake. Then they both dove into this lake, fed by glaciers.

I have hiked Quartz and Bowman Lake Trails when I worked at Glacier one summer. I did not know about this lake until I saw it on a topographical map. This must have been the ultimate rush to explore this part of the park!
