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 the trail.
The Trail: Once you start on the trail 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. There is a small trail that goes around
the north end of the lake for about 3/4 of a mile. The trail
then fades into a hard to follow fisherman's trail. Try to stay
up towards the top for the bottom near the lake is full of
boulders and loose rocks. If you can stay on the faint
fisherman's trail you will quickly get back to level ground and
the inlet of Glacier lake. Go up a small hill at Glacier's inlet
and you will find the small Triangle lake.
The Lake: This is a very pretty lake. I always like smaller
lakes. Glacier is very big so Triangle looks even the more
smaller when you get there. The lake is so small that you could
fish around the entire lake with little effort.
The Fishing: I have had some very productive days of fishing
at this lake. I have fished this lake when the weather has been
miserable and have still caught quite a few fish. The fish that
I caught averaged 1-2 pounds but they seemed to really fight!

Steep
but not too bad.
Not many spots to camp. 
Fishing
can be very good at times.
