There is a beautiful lake (St. Mary's Lake) which catches the water that melts in the glacier. The views of nearby peaks are spectacular. If you are lucky, you might get to watch someone snowboard or ski down the glacier...even in August! If you attempt to walk on the glacier, use extreme caution. It is ice and it is slippery.
