PLEASE hike this trail if you have time! Both routes are worth it, but always start from Logan Pass and then go down to the loop or down to Swiftcurrent. The loop is more convenient as there is a shuttle pickup there.

I have never walked the entire trail, as we have always visited the park on day trips from my family's nearby home and had small children along, but you can enjoy the first bit of it even without advanced equipment or much planning. We have yet to make a trip where we don't see bighorn sheep, mountain goats, marmots, deer,... More

I'd read about this trail before we left Florida to travel to Glacier. Then forgot about it, until we drove over the pass,stopped to look at something....and looked up and spotted the trail. Oh, my! It was snowy/windy that day, so we came back the next day prepared with clothing for the cold weather. I wasn't sure I'd be able... More

If you are afraid of heights, don't go on this trail!! It is very narrow at times and when you have to pass other people, you have to lean up against the mountain. I will say it is the best hike I went on while I was there. I live in FL & have Asthma so I have trouble scaling... More

I didn't hike up the whole trail but what I did see was great, being out in God's creation just seems to do your whole 'being' a shot of relax and peace, make sure to wear good walking shoe and take your bear bells, late summer can be a good find for huckleberries too.

We hike to Haystack pass and back. That hike is rated at 7.5miles (11.6km). It was an easy to moderate hike for us. We got to see goats, bighorn sheep in the distance and a grizzly wading far on the other side of the mountains (binoculars, telephoto lens were useful for that). The views are simply amazing. Unfortunately, it's quite... More

If you can leave a car at the bottom and drive up to the top of Logan Pass the hike is approximately 12 miles long. Most of it is fairly level to Granite Park Chalet and then the last 4 miles are mostly downhill. This hike will take most of the day but will be worth it. Don't worry if... More

We enjoyed this trail even though we only went aboout 0.3 miles past the Haystack. The garden wall area was so colorful in the fall and the cable part not as scary as we thought. We saw 6 big horn sheep on the trail. The only bad part is that the steepest uphills are the switchbacks at the end (if... More

Long hike, especially if you hike up to the Grinnell Glacier Overlook half way through. 15 miles, took us (relatively fit early thirtysomethings) approx 9 hours, including a half hour lunch break and many long extended stops to watch wildlife. We saw lots of mountain goats and big horn sheep on the trail, close up. Pack extra water this day.... More
