- HIGHLINE TRAIL in Glacier National Park to Grinnell Glacier Overlook- BEST Day Hike in Glacier National Park! 15 mile hike from Logan Pass to Haystack Butte and on to Grinnell Glacier over 15 miles on the Highline Trail out and back instead of the Loop.
I wanted to do a big hike in Glacier National Park and I sure did pick it! The Highline Trail is one of the most famous trails in Glacier and I wanted to do all of it! I didn't realize the final .6 mile to the Grinnell Glacier overlook had an elevation gain of 1000 feet. It was brutal and steep, but I got to see so many things along the way: Mountain Goats, Rams or Longhorn Sheep, Marmots, Wildflowers, Grinnell Glacier and the Granite Park Chalet in the distance!
It was a ridiculously long hike that left me crawling back to the van and was totally worth it!

If you're planning a trip to Glacier National Park here's my video from day 2! ruclips.net/video/j3EooHD4pEw/видео.html
good for you. i hiked/climbed Glacier for 35+ years. over 6000 trail miles and 100+ peak summits. it is spectacular.
you chose a good hike, albeit there are so many excellent ones.
glad to see you didn't have to deal with smoke from forest fires and got some sunshine.
thanks for the video. my park days are over and i live in retirement in the Andes (Ecuador). i have thousands of pics, but little video. good job ....
As someone with mobility issues I'd never be able to hike miles on a trail like that so thank you for taking such lovely video while there so that others can experience things like that vicariously 😊
I’m so happy you found the video! Sometimes I question how much time I’ve put into videos and hearing that you were able to enjoy the hike means so much to me! Thank you!!
Really enjoyed this. I loved all of the video. I'm going there for the first time in a few weeks. This was really helpful to watch. 😊
Love to hear that it helped! I hope you have a great trip!!
Such an amazing trail with very spectacular views! Definitely agree about the section to the Grinnell Glacier Overlook being as intense as the rest of the hike combined. Also had some animal encounters, including a rather bold mountain goat on the narrow part of the trail near Logan Pass heading back late in the evening when there was hardly anyone else on the trail...now that part was scary! A bit similar to your experience with the ram but made scarier by being on the narrowest part of the trail with the sheer drop.
lol! "A few miles later" "Did I come that way?!" I ask myself that ALL the time! Love it! Looks like beautiful scenery at Glacier National Park!
I can't imagine a better hike in the park!
Thanks for taking us along! Incredible, and my wife and I hope to see it ourselves in the next year or two! Have fun and safe travels!
The park is beautiful. You could spend a week hiking and still love it! Hidden Lake trailhead also leaves from Logan Pass. I'm not going to miss that one next time!
Wow that was a beautiful hike!! Thank you for sharing with us. That ram would’ve freaked me out too! You did so great!!
Thanks!! It was one of my best all year and I would like to think I have more experience now and would be able to enjoy the ram from a safe distance now instead of just being stressed!
Very nice video of one of my favorite hikes. Next time go to Granite Park Chalet. It is really fun. For a different hike try going over Swiftcurrent Pass down to Many Glacier. Keep up the videos!
I can't wait to go back! I'll add that one to my list of future hikes!!
I love the Highline trail, done it several times. also love Grinell Glacier trail and Iceberg Lake trail.
It’s such a beautiful park. I can’t wait to go back and try those other trails!!
Great video Laura! Thanks for taking us along and the extra effort to see the glacier from the top!!!
If only there was a shuttle back to the car 😂
I enjoyed your video...really took me back. It took me 2 hrs to hike to the overlook!
I remember being over half way and still considering if I should turn back! At least you took it slow and made it to the top! It felt like it was the hill that never ended. I am happy you could see it here instead of hiking up again 😅
Gorgeous views! Thanks for sharing
Even standing there they are unbelievable!
@@LauraOnTheMove I bet! We really enjoy making outdoor content also
Wow Laurel I loved your positive attitude on this hike. At one point you were talking to the camera and I was like turn around turn around. Beautiful views behind you!!! I was just going to do a little of this hike but am now thinking to push till the end. There’s no way I’d wanna pass those cliff side spots again!!!!
The stretch just past the haystacks is so beautiful and way less crowded since most people have that as their destination. You’ll love the hike! And the cliffs will feel wider in person!
Thanks for letting me join you! You did a wonderful job with this video. My wife and I were supposed to visit Glacier/Tetons end of September but got a little apprehensive due to the fire/smoke conditions. It would be our first time and we want it to be as good as it can get! So we are heading back out to Colorado again to explore some areas we have not been yet (the reservation system for RMNP seems like a nightmare...ahh!). Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!
Understandable that you would want to wait to make the trip. At Rocky Mountain the biggest thing is if you want to go toward bear lake. If you get a permit then go for it! If not you can use the other entrances before 9 am which is when you would want to start hiking anyway. I used the Fall River entrance around 7am with no issues to get to my trailhead to climb Mt. Ida and it was an amazing hike!
@@LauraOnTheMove thank you so much for those tips! I am sure that will help us make the most out of the current situation out there! Appreciate you!
On my list to hike next year. Looks so beautiful. I can't wait. Although close to the goat, but still a sight to see. Glad nothing happened to you in that close encounter.
7:48 😮
Me too!! Especially with the baby. Very cool to see it happy they weren't more upset for sure!
Nice video! Long hike for sure. Views seemed to be worth it! I would have freaked out with the Rams. I love how it was in the Ram Stance or whatever it's called on that rock lol. -Anthony
It was really cool to see him move around and do his thing. Also nice to make friends to help walk by him with me!
Great video and looks like the weather was perfect. I have hiked the Highline several times but never made it too the overlook.
GNP is the best !
It really is amazing! I'm already making plans for next time I go!
Congrats. Did the same hike. Impressive. Garden Wall is a bit tough. And route back was harder than expected
I had the same experience! I’m happy I didn’t film more on the way back because it was rough! I held out drinking my last sip of water for the final 1/4 mile
I want to do this trail!! Fantastic video
It’s a great one just pack lots of snacks and your bear spray!
I love this!!! My friend and I are going next week and stumbling upon this was so good! We were planning on highline to the chalet but have to do this instead! Also I feel like we would be besties on the trail hahah
You’re going to love it! And if you have extra energy you can still go to the chalet. This is just an off shoot of that trail. If only I was out there we could run from the goats and long horned sheep together 😂
Great job; and on my birthday
Even better!!
"Being rammed by a ram" was too funny. I can say that because it didn't happen ; )
It’s always funnier after it doesn’t happen!
Before seeing your video I was thinking of hiking from Loop TH to Grinnell overlook and then down Highline to Logan Pass... But NOW I wonder if the opposite direction might be better... Need a TOPO map...
I think a lot of people start at Logan Pass for that loop because it’s more gradual then it’s steep on the way down to TH. It would be good to check a map. And worth it either way!!
So how tired were you “really” after you got in the vehicle and headed out? I bet you were exhausted and probably slept well! Great scenery but looked quite windy and dusty in the beginning. Thank you for sharing!
I was so exhausted! Luckily packed some cold drinks to enjoy while changing my shoes and enjoying the view!
Going to Glacier for 5 nights 4 days July 2025. I am retired and 62 yrs young. This is one of the hikes I have plotted on my Giaia GPS. What time did you get to the parking area? I am staying in East St. Mary at the KOA tenting it. I plan to get to the parking area around 5:30ish, to guarantee a spot. How many hours did it take you and what was your pace per hour? Sorry for all the questions.🤔Subscribed also👍.😂That was awesome right out of the chute you and that mountain goat. He looked at you like “ Excuse me, my bad. Coming thru.” You were so polite saying “Go ahead.”👍
😂 Just needed to usher him along if he didn't understand! I made it into the park before 6 and the parking lot was full, the turnout was a great find, but did add to my hike. The start of the hike went fairly quick except for taking pictures. The climb up to the lookout really did me in. I recommend going very slow instead of trying to get it done quickly. I was extremely tired getting back to the van. The trail was pretty empty on my way back and I made it back around 4. When I was there, they had special requirements for the shuttles and you needed a pass. I would recommend studying the shuttle map and heading down the opposite way instead of making a loop then taking the shuttle back to logan pass. It would cut off some miles!
Lmfao!..... where are to crowds when you need them ??... oh my.. 🐏🦌.....almost seems as if the wildlife was stalking you 😂 lol! So much for wanting to see them from a long distance... that would most certainly happen to me as well...... 😂
...
Seriously! 😂
Wow, excellent video. So windy at the start. Now..about the garden hose part, what happens if hikers are coming the other way? Hug the wall? Believe me, I don't know how I'd feel about crossing paths on the open side.
It didn’t seem quite as narrow in person but usually one person will stand still as the other one passes. It usually goes pretty smoothly!
amazing views! great video. Was this taken during july?
Yes it was! End of July.
You did a great job showing us this trail. What month and day were you on the trail?
Thanks! It was the last week of July back in 2021! Great time of year to do it!!
This hike is amazing, the park is amazing. We were chased by a grizzly for 1.5 to 2 miles on the highline trail... a bit scary to say the least. But we survived.....
I can’t imagine being chased for that long! Happy it turned out just to be a good story.
@@LauraOnTheMove exactly.... Finally a 5' 2 female ranger stepped in and saved us..
@@WayneMoran😅
Enjoyed watching your video! I am heading to Glacier soon. How long did the out and back trail take you?
It’s a slow one! I would say it took 8-9 hours. I usually hike 2 miles per hour and that would be 7 hours here, but with the views and elevation it took a lot longer. It was a great one to take slow, but I did run out of water with 5 or so miles left (I saved a drink in case I started coughing, but I didn’t have enough for the time it took!)
Love this video, what month was this trip?
Thank you!! It was the last week of July.
Hey! Just wondering what dates you where there for this hike. Were planning a trip up and won't to go during a good time. Thanks
I was there at the end of July. This was July 22nd and it seemed like a great time! It was cherry season and there were tons of places to buy cherries along the drive!
Hi I hope you see this message! I’m traveling to glacier National park by myself as well and was wondering how safe you felt and if you had any tips?
Hi! I felt very safe, but as a solo hiker, I always had bear spray with me. The area has bear sightings on a regular basis and all hikers should have it just in case. I usually go on popular trails, but there are stretches where I’m alone and I was happy I had it. I do recommend the popular trails. They’re popular for a reason plus having people around helps incase you need something! Have fun!
so did you walk all the way back to Logan pass after the glacier overlook? Why not continue to the loop snd then take a shuttle back to Logan pass where your car is?
I did walk back to Logan pass. The summer I did this there were restrictions on shuttles and I didn’t have a shuttle pass. I ran out of water and energy with a few miles left so it ended up being a rough one!!
Thank you for taking us along! Such a beautiful and strenuous hike that I will be doing next week. So excited!! How long did it take you to do the whole loop?
I did it as an out and back which took around 12 hours. There is a loop trail that involves taking the shuttle that would be a little shorter. If you do that, I would start at Logan Pass just for more gradual elevation change. The final push to the overlook is tough stuff. Just save some energy and take your time. Also take plenty of water. I had to drink less in my final few miles to avoid running out. Have a great time! the views are unbelievable!
@@LauraOnTheMove We will definitely try to shorten this hike as much as possible even if it involves Hitch hikeing do you know if the shuttle runs in Sept?
@@raymiller764 I expect that it runs until the snow starts, so that may be late September. I know they didn’t open the road up until well into June this summer due to snow fall which is crazy!
HI! Bet you slept sooooo goood that night:)))
Like a rock 😅
so could you continue downhill to the end of the trail and catch the shuttle?
Unfortunately this was in 2021, so you had to have a reservation to use the shuttles. You could and should now though!!
Amazing views and thanks for sharing! what time of the year did you hike this trail ?
I hiked in mid July. It was perfect weather. There is also a hike to hidden lake that leaves from the sand trailhead and that would be a great one to do too!!
@@LauraOnTheMove Thank you for the info !
Do you use GoPro and Sony and splice the footage together using GoPro Studio? I find GoPro Studio really tempermental. Do you mind if I ask about your editing software? Your footage is beautiful!
Thanks! I’ve actually been using 100% GoPro footage and throw in something from my iPhone if that’s where I have it. I use iMovie to edit and it goes really smoothly.
What month did you going in this video?
It was in July!
What time did you get to the trail?
I think it was a little after 8. I didn't have a pass for the road that day, so I had to enter the park pretty early and I had to park down from Logan Pass to get a spot.
Jen Coleman was found deceased on this trail today 😢
Horrible news. Just reading up on it now.
who was Jen ?
