Description: Hi, My name is Sue and I am a signupaholic...
I stumbled upon the Granite Park Chalet hike in Glacier National Park by accident. I knew there were backcountry chalets in Glacier, but they were nothing more than points on a map. However, during one of my early season bike rides in Glacier this year , Going-to-the-Sun road was closed to motorists at Avalanche but open to cyclists up as far as The Loop. When we hit the road closure at The Loop, we decided to poke around the area and maybe do a quick hike. The Loop happens to be where the trail to Granite
The Granite trail, first attempt. Over, under or through?
But I was intrigued. I hadn’t realized that one of the backcountry chalets was so easily accessible by day hike. Although we’d failed to get there, hiking to Granite Park Chalet was now officially on my list of things to do. So when a friend from back East came to visit, I knew I wanted to show her Glacier and I knew what hike I wanted to do.
