A popular hiking trail with phenomenal views.
With Grinnell Glacier access restricted (Covid), we accessed via the Highline trail (Logan Pass visitor center), climbed to the Grinnell Overlook (via Garden Wall trail), and returned via the Loop trail (to the Loop parking lot for pickup). Highly recommend this route as Highline going back out is not only longer but harder and the loop is mostly downhill. The views on Highline after rain yesterday were amazing and perfectly clear. We saw a group of mountain goats, multiple bighorn sheep (on the trail), and a few marmot. The climb to the glacier was tough but definitely worth it. Recommend continuing climb to the saddle (see recording) to see all four lakes at the bottom rather than just looking into the glacier. Exiting via the Loop trail was great as it was mostly downhill. Would definitely do this again and highly recommend if wanting to see the glacier.

A scenic lake.
A super pretty area to stop and check out the lodge, history, eat, or take a boat tour! We took a boat tour and hike to upper Grinnell Lake & Grinnell Glacier it was truly an unbelievable trip. The boat staff was very knowledgeable and more than accommodating. The lodge was a perfect place to eat and rest and just take in the views of the Lake!!!

A spectacular and scenic 52-mile highway through Glacier National Park, which crosses the Continental Divide at Logan Pass in Montana.
Every part of this drive is beautiful and breathtaking!!! Take your time and enjoy it!! Way to many people get in a hurry!! Enjoy the pull offs and take in the views!! Get out of the vehicle and take it all in!! We chose to drive on our own that way we could go at our own pace!!! We went the end of June and it was the first week that the full road had been open!! So glad we got to experience it!! We decided to drive east to west to avoid all the traffic coming into from the West!!

Hikers often wear bells and strike up loud conversations, so as not to startle the bears on this back country trail.
We joined one of the park rangers for this hike who was very good guide. We learned about the plants along the trail as well as about the animals living in the area. The hike up was pleasant and Iceberg Lake reflects the changes in our climate. On our hike down we had rain, wind, hail and wintery mix so definitely plan to have layers of clothes as well as a good rain jacket and hat.

Loved this hike. We had no idea what we were getting into. We’re not hardcore hikers but we kept hearing how great this hike was. We started out not knowing how much of a climb it was. It was quite the incline but very much worth it! We made it up to Preston Park and Wow! Amazing views of Piegan Glacier as well as many others mountain peaks! You could definitely go further and I know there would be more amazing views! Do this hike!
