Henkel (8,770-ft.) southwest flanks to Ptarmigan Falls, a worthy destination for hikers looking for a shorter day.
The scenic trail to the lake ascends along the lower slopes of Mt. Ice floes, calved from snowfields along the lake’s western shore, often last well into the summer and in some years still bob along the lake’s surface in September. Wilbur (9,321-ft.), to the south, and Iceberg Peak (9,146-ft.), to the west, soar over 3,000-ft. The beautiful alpine lake lies nestled in a spectacular steep-walled cirque. The popular trail to Iceberg Lake ranks among the top hikes in the Many Glacier area.
