Crow Pass Trailhead

Oh my gosh! Wish we would have went farther but already had 6 miles of hiking under our belt that day. Highly recommend! Be careful in and out as it’s a single lane road. Honestly incredible!!!

Hiking the Crow Pass Trail to Raven Glacier was a challenge but in the best way! The ascent is significant (2000 + feet) but it is gradual and the views are spectacular throughout most of the hike. The lake is a nice place to stop and relax or picnic. There is a public use cabin for rent there that looked great. The route leads over a couple small streams and the path from the lake to the glacier is a soggy, so keep that in mind when choosing footwear. It also is a bit windy so a jacket or sweatshirt would be a good idea. Not much shade on this walk, so sunscreen and hats are also recommended. I was glad to have my poles but they aren’t necessary if you are pretty sure footed. I understand this is the hardest part of the long trail that continues to Eagle River (24 miles). I am so glad to have this one under my belt, I look forward to doing the entire traverse soon.

Pictures don’t do it justice. One of the coolest hikes I’ve ever done. Difficult climb and some steep drop offs though

We had a fantastic 8mile out & back hike to past Crystal Lake to Raven Glacier. It was a mostly sunny day, a little windy in spots, with moderate trail traffic. Incredible views, especially at the glacier, but all along the trail. We even got to see a black bear in the distance on a mountain side. Loved it!

Challenging hike on a good trail. Always take bear spray. Three easy creek crossings with stepping stones(didn't even get feet wet). Follow the path to the right at top of pass(left path is to lake & cabin(reservation required) to reach the 3500 foot Crow Pass. Beautiful glacier views. 7 miles round trip.

It’s a lovely trail but you need to be aware that there is only 1 lane/road to and from the trail that is shared between people going to and leaving the trail. I feel like this trail would be easy but it ended up being somewhat moderate difficulty due to lots of loose rocks covering parts of the trail that make it slippery

The trail is incredible. Most of it is above the tree line, so you don't need to work hard for great views. Multiple route and length options and fantastic views regardless whichever one you choose

Crow pass is probably one of my favorites in views when overcast and so green. We did not walk far into the path, maybe a mile or two. The berries were pretty, but with the sign we chose not to pick any. We originally came because we heard there was salmon berries. The experience and views were too great not to enjoy, but the one car road was a bit scary because we had a smaller vehicle than the huge vans we had to pass. It wasn't easy to pass without getting into the dirt or bushes just so their vehicle could pass. With so many turns we could not see when a vehicle was coming most of the time. There is a lot of parking and some picnic tables at the start of the trail with restrooms. Our only issue was that one car wide road getting to the trailhead.
