• St. Mary’s Glacier - Situated just outside Idaho Springs, Colorado, over 10,000 feet above sea level, is a pristine alpine lake. While Saint Mary’s Lake is stunning, most visitors are drawn further up the trail to a small, somewhat dirty patch of snow known as Saint Mary’s Glacier. Wildflowers, windswept trails, boulders, and snowfields offer significant rewards for the easy hike to St Mary’s Glacier. It’s a quick day trip from Denver, with modest elevation gains, a short half-mile distance, and summer snow and ice, making it perfect even for young hikers. Although it can be busy on summer weekends, the views on a clear day are spectacular, and a walk around the lake leads to the glacier itself.
