  We hiked to Avalanche Lake during July. My husband and I are normally on more secluded trails when hiking so this one seemed really crowded. There were a LOT of people on the trail. When arriving at Avalanche Lake we followed the trail on around to the other side of the lake. It was less crowded there. We stopped for some fishing, and caught a few trout. This trail would be good for families. I saw a lot of small children hiking it, and it didn't seem like a problem for any of them.
