The glories of the Mummy Range, exemplified chiefly in Lawn Lake and
Rowe Glacier, may be seen from a trail starting from Horseshoe Park by
way of Roaring River. There is a shelter on beautiful Lawn Lake. This
lake, which has an area of 65 acres, lies at the bottom of the main
cirque at the head of Roaring River. It is one of the many glacial lakes
of the park, and lies just below timberline at an altitude of 10,950
feet.
The trip from Lawn Lake to Rowe Glacier is difficult but well worth
while. The glacier is the largest in the park. It is a great crescent of
ice partly surrounding a small lake. While the glacier is extremely
impressive, still it is small enough to permit a thorough examination
without undue fatigue. Hagues Peak is a resort of Rocky Mountain sheep
and ptarmigan.
