Sprague Creek Picnic Area - Going-to-the-Sun Road - Glacier National Park


Leaving the Avalanche Creek area, we headed southwest on the Going-to-the-Sun Road and stopped at the Sprague Creek Picnic area for another view of Lake McDonald. A very short, groomed trail leads from the parking area to the lakeshore. We visited the park in May 2021.
