Highline Trail Panorama

The best way to get the best views of one the best parks I have been in is to get into one of the 700 miles that needle its way through the gorgeous valleys and towering peaks of the crown of the continent.

 

And perhaps one of the most scenic trail is the Highline Trail that follows the Continental divide for some distance. A short section that was traversed by me was the Garden Wall section of the trail which is 7.6 miles long. Jaw dropping views await every turn. The orientation of the valleys and the peaks constantly change as you traverse from Logan pass to the historic Granite Park Chalet which overlooks a beautiful section of the Livingston Range at the McDonald Creek Valley.

 

It is a must do hike for anybody visiting the park and has a day to spare.

 

Here, I have tried to capture one small section of the view a couple of miles into the trail looking into the valley.

 

View Extra large for the best effect.
