Glacier National Park - Hiker Forum Board

Go back to home page

The hikers in the park are the people who report on this board. This is not a government sponsored site. If you are a hiker and just made a hike then please help by updating the trail board with your hiking experiences and with the latest hiking conditions at Glacier. You can even upload your own trail pictures.

Every trail featured in the Glacier hiking forum board is colored in on the map below. Blue trails are lower in elevation and snow melts away faster on these trails. Many of the lower elevation trails are generally open by May. Red trails are higher elevation trails which can be clogged with snow well into July. To see the details of any particular trail on the Glacier hiking forum board simply click on the appropriate area in the map.

Logging Lake - A five mile hike gets you to the first campground located at Logging Lake. This is the better of the two campgrounds. If you hike 12.8 miles then you come to beautiful Grace Lake said to offer the best fishing in Glacier NP with a healthy suppy of Westslope Cutthroat Trout. The trails are lower in elevation and because of that you can usually travel earlier in the year.

Did you know?
In 1895, Chief White Calf of the Blackfeet authorized the sale of some 800,000 acres to the U.S. government for $1.5 million with the understanding that they would maintain usage rights to the land for hunting, etc. This established the current boundary between the park and the reservation.
