Avalanche Basin
Lake and Waterfalls in the Heart of McDonald Valley
Basin
in
Glacier NP
,
Rocky Mountains
near
Lake McDonald Hotel
,
MT
This glacially-carved basin is reminiscent of a giant bowl and has enabled a biologically diverse ecosystem to form.
Avalanche Lake
is at its center, fed by numerous streams and waterfalls that originate at
Sperry Glacier
or surrounding sources.
One of the best resources to learn more about this unique location is
Glacier Nation Park’s Avalanche Basin Podcast Series
by the NPS and Environmental Studies Program at the University of Montana. There you can listen to six short podcasts that explain its unique geology, wildlife, cultural significance, and more.
