2020 Map of Lake McDonald East

About this map

Sperry Chalets serves as a focal point for this high-altitude landscape within Glacier National Park. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, featuring the Sperry Glacier and numerous alpine basins like Glacier Basin. Water flows through a complex network of creeks such as Spreague Cr and Snyder Cr, punctuated by significant vertical drops at Akaigan Falls and Feather Woman Falls. The presence of several remote lakes, including Lake Ellen Wilson and Harrison Lake, suggests a landscape shaped by glacial activity. At lower elevations, the shore of Lake McDonald and the Avalanche Campground indicate the primary access points for travelers entering this wilderness area. High mountain passes like Gunsight Pass and Lincoln Pass provide the only navigable routes through the high ridges of Snyder Ridge and peaks such as Edwards Mtn.
