Glacier View is a trailhead that also serves as a Sno-Park in winter. You will find it on the north side of Highway 26, opposite Ski Bowl and a short way west of Government Camp, on the Zigzag Ranger District. It ties into the Government Camp Trail System.
Trails from here include the Crosstown Trail (#755), the Pioneer Bridle Trail (#795), and the Enid Lake Trail (#692A), and a trailhead board with a map helps you get oriented. The lot has room for about 30 cars but no trailer access. Toilets are seasonal, and there is no drinking water.
