Granite Park area photos in Glacier PArk

Granite Park Chalet from the Loop Trail

The Loop Trail starts starts at the switchback turn ( The Loop, elevation 4,297' ) on Going To The Sun road 8 miles west of Logan Pass. This hike has a 2,249' elevation gain in 4 miles. To me it was a difficult climb at the time because I was not in shape. It was, however, breathtaking and awe inspiring.

Order number GraniteChalet_001 Price $90.00 18"x12" Print only The wildflowers along the way were beautiful. This "Purple Flower" (I believe is a Harebell?) was plentiful in certain areas. I am not very good at botany, so please excuse me if I am incorrect on the species. The only thing I know for sure about the wildflowers of Glacier National Park is that they are beautiful. I have created two Screensavers of this trip, one of the scenery and the other of wildflowers.
