Old Glacier Trail is a hard hike in Wyoming's Shoshone National Forest, within the Wind River Ranger District. The route is an out-and-back of about 10 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 2,900 feet, taking you from a low point of about 7,560 feet to a high of about 10,527 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open year-round. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses, so riders can plan a pack trip along with the climb. The trailhead is at the Trail Lake parking area, and the route is long and steep, so plan on a full day on foot. Lake Louise and the Glacier Trail both lie within about half a mile of the trail, and Whiskey Mountain is a similar distance away. Torrey Creek, a fishing spot, is about 0.7 miles off.
