Yes it is wise to have someone else along. Just make sure you can move over irregular surfaces faster than they can.

The hike to Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park begins from the Trail of the Cedars Trailhead, located 5.5 miles east of the Lake McDonald Lodge, with a round trip hike of 4.5 miles round trip... with a trail difficulty rating: 5.96 (moderate) I'm really feeling it this morning. I had to wait for this bucket list hike, as I don't hike alone in GNP.
Love GNP. Beautiful picture. Avalanche Lake is always on my list for an early morning or evening hikes. There is a small beach straight out on the other side of the lake near the base of the three waterfalls. We saw a grizzly out there one time, but usually there is too much human traffic for the bears to be just bears.

In BoyScouts we learned: always hike with a buddy. Photos are wonderful.

It was SO cool because it had a " Retro " look to it and not a 21st. century modernization... You were very fortunate to work for the NPS up there... I am envious.
One of the best summers of my life. Yes the lodge is the real deal.
