Offering some of the most spectacular views of the park, this strenuous 5 mile roundtrip trail starts at the west end of Eleanor Lake and climbs 1,800 feet within 2.5 miles. It passes through a forested area into an avalance slide area and continues through a whitebark pine forest to a small meadow at the base of the Avalanche Peak bowl. The trail continues up a scree slope along the narrow ridgeline of Avalanche Peak with and unmarked trail dropping down the northeast side of the bowl.
There are grizzly bears in the area so make sure to check for any posted signs about their activity.
