Grinnell Glacier Trail was our first hike in Glacier in 1975 as part of our 40-day honeymoon camping in the national parks. We had never camped together yet the magnificence of our country outweighed any novice mistakes we made! Returning often to Glacier was an act of spiritual renewal strengthening our marriage. We feel so lucky that we were able to hike the trail again in 2014 discovering that it was even more beautiful and powerful than we remembered.
Sincerely,
Glacier National Park
