Why You'll Love Lake Haiyaha

Lake Haiyaha is one of the park’s most stunning alpine lake destinations. Nestled below an active glacier, glacial sediment gives the lake its striking turquoise color. The name Haiyaha means "rock," "big rocks," or "lake of many rocks," a fitting description for the massive granite boulders surrounding the shoreline. Together with sweeping mountain views, this dramatic landscape makes Lake Haiyaha one of the park's most memorable hikes.
