Silver Glance Lake sits at 9,902 feet above sea level. You get to Silver Glance by driving up American Fork Canyon, taking the left fork up to Tibble Fork Reservoir and then taking the dirt road up to Silver Lake Flat (Reservoir). From there you find the Silver Lake trail head, hike the 2.2 miles to Silver Lake and then north along the spur (just east of the stream bed) approximately 1 mile to Silver Glance (no established trail to Silver Glance exists).
The trail to Silver Lake is a popular one and on most weekends you'll find it fairly crowded. Silver Lake is a pretty but heavily used area and the short but steep hike to Silver Glance is a welcome escape to solitude--and often isolation.
On my next hike up to Silver Glance, I intend to hike up to Red Baldy and get a view of the surroundings from there--I hear they're rather spectacular. Having said that, the views from Silver Glance really aren't anything to shake a stick at.
