We talk about the cost of entry, how to get to the park, and how to get around once you are there, the main areas/attractions of the park, lodging options, wildlife, important safety tips, food, how to layer to stay safe and comfortable.

Trailhead: Grinnell Glacier Trail Parking Area
Difficulty: Strenuous
Distance: 11 Miles
Elevation gain: 1700 ft
You'd be hard-pressed to find a trail that offers a better selection of Glacier National Park's scenery, wildlife, and history. Grinnell Glacier in addition to being the park's most accessible glacier also bears the name of one of the most influential conservationists responsible for the region's preservation.
You'll encounter 4 stunning lakes: Swiftcurrent, Josephine, Lower Grinnell, and upper Grinnell and get up-close looks at two of the parks quickly disappearing glaciers.
Outhouses: Grinnell Glacier parking area, west shore of Lake Josephine near the boat dock, near trail's end before exiting treeline. The final outhouse is concealed from view. If you've passed the treeline you've gone too far.
Dispose of all waste properly, and carry out ALL trash.
What to do if you can't make it to an outhouse:
