This trail begins from the northwest corner of the Jackson Visitor Center parking area. It leads northwestward one half mile from the parking area through dense forest then meadows. The trail forms a small loop with three overlooks of the Nisqually Glacier. The last overlook of the glacier contains an interpretive panel describing the glacier and its effects on the landscape. The entire loop may take up to an hour to complete.
