1The Huckleberry Trail, Glacier National Park, Montana
Experienced backpackers confirm you must take proper precautions to hike in popular Glacier National Park. After all, this park has the highest grizzly bear population density in the contiguous US and there’s a thriving grizzly habitat on Huckleberry Mountain. You can’t even hike here during peak berry season, because the bears come out to enjoy the berries that grow on the peak’s slopes.
Nevertheless, even when you are permitted to hike here, you’ll need to carry bear spray, not camp anywhere near a food source, and always be on the lookout for any sign of bears. If you take this hike, be careful. (We could not bear to lose readers.)
