How to get there: Go south from Red lodge going towards Cooke
city. Right before the switch backs going over the Beartooth
pass take a right. Greenough lake is right off the main road.
Keep going past the camp grounds onto a dirt road. The dirt road
will go past M-K camp ground and keep going for what seems
forever. At the end of the dirt road you will hit trail #3.
The Trail: Once you start on trail #3 you will find out fast
that the trail is fairly steep. The trail is full of switch
backs that go up and up and up. The good news is that the switch
backs only go up for about 2 miles. With some work you'll be up
on top in no time. Once on top you will arrive at Glacier lake.
Glacier lake is huge. At the outlet to Glacier lake is a small
dam. Look down and you will see the after bay. There are a
couple of trails that will lead down to the after bay.
The Lake: The after bay if fairly small in size which I
always consider a bonus. It also has a nice waterfalls that
comes from Glacier lake up above. Its a pretty little after bay
but there are not any spots to camp. You will have to camp up
top at Glacier.
The Fishing: I have went to this after bay many times with my
kids and have always caught a lot of cutthroats which have
always been decent in size. I figure they must get carried down
the dam to this after bay.
