It’s a long day hike to Upper Kintla Lake from (Lower) Kintla Lake campground and the Boulder Pass Trailhead, so plan on getting a backcountry permit in advance and camping there for a spell. You’ll be glad you did, but the climb up and back down from spectacularly scenic Boulder Pass is a long, steep and grueling one!
Common loons, numerous woodpecker species, bald eagles, ospreys, bats, and owls often provide the background music here and on Lower Kintla Lake, but be very bear and cougar aware , as all of Glacier National Park is prime grizzly, black bear and mountain lion habitat. Upper Kintla Lake is also home to the endangered bull trout and is closed to all fishing.
