  Grinnell Glacier is one of the park's most popular hikes, and for good reason. It starts out low, circling along the shimmering lake, but after a couple of miles, up and up you go. From the high hills, you’ll look over at Josephine Lake, Angel Wing, and Mount Gould. Continuing the trek upward reveals your first look at Grinnell Glacier–one of the most photographed locations in the park. From the trailhead, it’s a little over 10 miles, or 16 kilometers, there and back.
