Please see description ❤❤ This is not a loop but - AllTrails states it is an out and back. The shuttles run in the park. Thank you all for dropping in! This was a lot of fun! It’s also worth mentioning that there is a last shuttle of the day. A lot of people hitch hike back to the lot. A lot of other people hike back to the lot. It’s good to make plans for catching the shuttle.

You did an amazing job capturing the splendor of those mountains. Makes me want to go back!

My favorite way to hike this is to take the bus to Logan's Pass early, hike to the Grinnell Glacier overlook, have lunch at the Granite Park Chalet, hike up to the Swift Current Lookout and hike down the valley via Swift Current Pass to Many Glacier Lodge (we stay at Many). What a wonderful way to spend the day. Over the years I have done it a dozen times. Thanks so much for the video!! Always carry bear spray!!! Cheers! Bill

The most beautiful place!

My wife and I hiked this one in July and it was definitely in the top 2 hikes we did (Iceberg Lake was also amazing). While it’s narrow in some sections and made me a little dizzy/vertigo feeling from an inner ear condition I had that definitely caused some anxiety along the way, it is extremely safe and not bad at all particularly if you go early. We parked at Logan Pass, took the trail to the chalet, then down the Loop trail and caught a shuttle ride back to Logan. About 13 and change with the walk to and from our car and just an epic hike. Definitely go early and bring more water than you think you need because once that sun hits you’re totally exposed.

Acrophobs and agroraphobs should not attempt this trail. You can have the narrow trail and the height get in your head and you press on focusing on your feet and the scenery is a background blurr.

Yes! I have been thinking on this! Seems this was my tendency while creating 🤭Thank you for watching!

35+ years of hiking/climbing Glacier. over 5000 trail miles and well over 100 mountain summits, and i never tire of the highline trail. it gives the novice a little bit of everything the Park offers - scenery, snowfields, wildlife, floral arrays, jagged peaks, the Grinnell overlook, the Chalet, and if you choose.....one of the most beautiful pass views in the Park (Swiftcurrent). Next step, Heidi? climb a mountain. start with Oberlin (at Logan Pass) - it's a class 2 scramble (or class 3 if you approach via the saddle). Mt Pollock and Mt Piegan are just down the road at Lunch Creek, and they are class 3 (except for the Great Cleft on Pollock). the lookouts are also great adventures. Apgar, Huckleberry, Swiftcurrent (awesome views!!), Numa Ridge (Bowman Lake), Scalplock.....and they 4000+ ft. climb to Mt. Brown or go off trail and scale an easy class 3 peak. keep doing it! my 35 years of memories are cherished. i climbed until i couldn't. do the same.
