Sperry & Granite Chalet Backcountry - Glacier NP

River valleys form a V and glaciated valleys are U shaped. The way my pea brain remembers is that river has the letter “V”.

 

This tidbit along with a plethora of the park’s natural history was bestowed upon us by our guides Eva and Jordan and Gabby and Joe.

 

Guides aside, the trails into and around Sperry and Granite chalets have incredible 360 views of glaciers, lakes, wildflowers and wildlife.

 

Highlights were the wildflowers, bear and bighorn sheep sightings and ascents to glaciers and descents to lakes.

 

During our 6 day adventure we covered more than 50 miles and engaged with people from DC, California, New York, Washington and Oregon.

 

If you like hiking in the wilderness this park has your name on it!
