Glenmore-Schlamn is an easy out-and-back hike in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of Minnesota, set within the Lacroix Ranger District of Superior National Forest. The trail is short, at about 1.3 miles, and the climb is gentle, with a total gain of about 160 feet, so it fits easily into a day in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs in the mid-70s and lows in the low 50s in July, while winter highs stay in the teens and 20s. The hike starts on natural surface, and neither bikes nor horses are allowed. The trip is open year-round and takes about half an hour. Glenmore-Western is half a mile away, and Buck-Western is about 1.9 miles off. Schlamn Flowage-Lunetta Lake and Lunetta-Hassel are both within about 3 miles.
