Trail Stats

Iceberg Lake / Ptarmigan Trailhead

Climbs 2300' in 2.5 miles

Description

This is a beautiful hike.  You hike the trail than it splits.  You can either go to Iceberg lake or Ptarmigan Tunnel.  Now it's exactly what it sounds like, a tunnel drilled straight through the rock so the casual hiker doesn't have to bust out the ropes, pitons and chocks. Going through Ptarmigan Tunnel one should hike a bit of the way to Elizabeth Lake till you can see Helen Lake it's not much further but worth it.
