We had a wonderful 5-6 miles walk through the woods and field, lunching at an overlook over Missoula. The drive to the Sawmill Gulch Trailhead was very easy.

With tens of thousands of acres and dozens of trails this is a hikers paradise. Located east of Kalispell, and past the Hungry Horse Dam, access in the winter becomes considerably more restricted. The use of a four wheel drive made this trip possible. We drove in about 8 miles or so on the west side of the dam to Jimmy Trail. The trail is fairly strenuous and the calf deep snow added to that. The trail ascends steeply in numerous places with almost no flat or plateau areas. The views through the trees are breathtaking and it was well worth the effort. This is a remote area and precautions are necessary. Bring supplies and at least bear spray, as bears, mountain lions and bobcats are present. Our hike was about three miles out and back. This time of year there is almost no vehicular or pedestrian traffic, though snow mobiles could be heard in the distance. On a sadder note the beetles have done an enormous amount of damage to the trees. So much more to do.

The Ptarmigan Trailhead is located adjacent to the Swiftcurrent Motor inn and is approximately 11 miles in length roundtrip. The elevation gain is about 2,300' and as you approach the lake the vistas become more and more amazing. Three switchbacks ascend from the Lake to the tunnel and the view as you emerge from the tunnel is fantastic.

We parked in this lot (restrooms & water there), & began what turned out to be my FAVORITE hike of our entire 8-day visit to Glacier! We stayed on the trail past Baring Falls to St. Mary Falls; ate a snack at the latter, then headed back to our cars as the sun was setting. I highly recommend this hike in the late afternoon like that, as the Alpenglow on Red Eagle & the other surrounding mountains was just spectacular! At the end of it, you can look back to the West and enjoy the Sunset over the Mountains! Originally, we'd hoped to hike all the way to Virginia Falls, but since started out late, we were better off getting back to our cars just as it was getting dark. We could still SEE Virginia Falls from across the lake on the trail! We all paused for a good laugh when someone said, "YES!! We DID get to see all 3 waterfalls on this hike!" We also saw 3 moose and one deer. The moose were bathing in the marshes at the SW end of Lake St. Mary, and the doe suddenly appeared from "nowhere" RIGHT ON THE VERY TRAIL we were on! (Not sure who was more startled by this, us or her!) This is a very EASY trail -even to St. Mary Falls & back. We're all mid-lifers (mostly 60's), & we could carry on ongoing conversations the entire trail while keeping to a good clip. The trail follows the lake, with wonderful views, and in mid-September, the underbrush & some of the trees were just starting to turn warm shades of oranges & yellows, so we loved how "colorful" this hike was - esp. at sunset!
