Isabelle Glacier Hike 7/24/2009 & 8/20/2012
The Isabelle Glacier trail is in the Brainerd Lake Recreational Area.  It is a 9 mile
roundtrip hike with a vertical assent of 1452 feet.  This hike was done on two
different times as the first time we did not reach the glacier.  The second
slideshow is the last half of the hike to the Isabelle Glacier done in 2012.

Lake.
The lakes were all very blue.
