Wonderful trail… Ran into quite a bit of snow at about 1350 m of elevation… Lake was still frozen over. Absolutely stunning! June 14, 2025

Bikes are allowed on the loop just not up to the lake above the falls. There are signs telling you when this is. If you like flow trails, this loop was best down going up rainbow falls and depending the other side.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
