If you've seen The Sound of Music, then you will completely understand the song: "The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music"! Glacier National Park is a hiker's paradise and the Highline Trail is the ultimate hike in Glacier. With the exception of the early section of steep, narrow, drop-off, hold on to the cable, I think I'm going... More

I've had the good forture to be on many great trails thru the west and the Highline rates right up there with the best.It's the views!!!You are on the side of a ridge the almost entire time with very little up and down and glorious views in front of you the whole hike.Flowers, goats, waterfalls, snowcap peaks, all just beautiful.And...

One of my favorite trails in the park. Whenever we have guests come to visit, this is always a standard to take them on. . The trail has a gradual incline with a rewarding view from the chalet at mile 7. We always pack a lunch and eat it at the chalet. I highly recommend this trail if you are... More

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I highly recommend this trail for anyone visiting Glacier. You don't have to hike the whole thing so don't be put off by the distance. We hiked in about 3.5 miles and then turned back. You access the trailhead from the Logan Pass Visitor Center so go early or late to get a parking spot or use... More

One of our favorites that we try to do each year. Lots of variety on the hike. Getting to the Chalet is always nice to meet and talk to others on the hike. http://glaciernatlpark.blogspot.com/search/label/Logan%20Pass%20The%20Highline%20Trail More

This is an excellent hike, if it's warm be sure to bring plenty of water. Begin the hike at Logan's Pass and hike to the Loop where you can get the shuttle back to your car. (check dates for shuttle service) The best scenery in the park on this trail! The only tough part can be the last four miles,... More

Done many treks in Glacier over 50 years; this is one of the best. The Highline from Logan Pass to Granite Park is magnificent for many reasons: awesome vistas of course, wildlife, wildflowers, the geology of the Garden Wall and the Lewis Overthrust, the Continental Divide looming above, ... , all a relatively level 7.6 miles. [Please carry bear spray... More

As residents of the Glacier area, we've had years to hike in the park, and this is without a doubt the best day hike we've found for scenery and animal sightings, and ease of access. It's somewhat crowded in high season and not accessible once snow closes the Going-to-the-Sun Road, but it's particularly grand in the fall when the park... More

I hiked this the day after hiking the Grinnell Glacier hike (out of Many Glacier). I only hiked two hours in and then back out, so I didn't go all the way to the Granite Chalet. Most of the views from this section are the same ones you can get from the highway; as you hike you can hear the... More

We hike the 11.6 mile long Highline Trail to the Granite Park Chalet and back down to the loop in August. The best part of the day was when we saw 8 bighorn sheep in the parking lot just as we were pulling up! The Highline Trail is a really nice trail, though. It starts off very rocky and immediately...
