The Highline Trail is one of the top hikes in the entire National Park System. In terms of effort to views ratio, it cannot be beat. It is quite popular, but its popularity is well-earned!

Hike through a historic tunnel at the top of the Ptarmigan Wall. The tunnel was built back in 1931 by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corp). The men had to blast through the Ptarmigan Wall to create the 240' long tunnel, which connects the Belly River Valley at the north end with the Many Glacier Valley at the south end. While savoring the views, reflect on the sheer amount of work and the magnificent force it required of the CCC to build so many National Park trails.

The trip to the Grinnell Glacier viewpoint is one of the best day trips in Glacier National Park. This route features everything: wildflowers, alpine lakes, wildlife, vistas, and much more! It is one of the best trips in the park for someone looking to get close up to a glacier, too. The terminus at Upper Grinnell Lake features outstanding views of Grinnell Glacier.

Hidden Lake is one of the most popular day hikes in Glacier National Park for a reason. The hike isn't too difficult, and it features wonderful views and the chance to see wildlife. The hike to Hidden Lake Overlook and the additional trip down to Hidden Lake has it all!

The hike to Brown Pass is one of the most stunning mid-length treks in Glacier National Park, and its location in the lightly traveled northern region makes it especially remote and wonderful. Three main trails intersect at Brown Pass, so there are multiple ways to reach it and multiple places to go from there. The most common route is a simple out and back from Bowman Lake as a one or two-night trip.

The trail to Iceberg lake is a fantastic day hike in Glacier National Park. The route represents a pretty good distance but doesn't require a ton of elevation gain. You will likely come across other hikers, but that is due to the relative ease of the trail combined with the indescribable beauty of Iceberg Lake.
