In summer, rent a canoe and glide across the glacial lake, or hike to the Lake Agnes Tea House for a rewarding view.

Follow a series of catwalks and forest trails that wind through a dramatic limestone canyon, leading to stunning waterfalls and turquoise pools. The Lower Falls are a quick and rewarding stop, while the Upper Falls offer a deeper dive into the canyon’s beauty.
