10 Best Hikes In Glacier National Park

Another great albeit strenuous hike in this park, is this nearly 11-mile adventure. It includes a total ascent of 1,600 feet so set aside between five to seven hours to finish this one. This hike features alpine scenery, emerald green lakes, waterfalls, a good chance to spot bears, moose, or mountain goats, and, unsurprisingly, a glacier. You can start the hike at Lake Josephine or the Grinnell Glacier Trailhead on Continental Divide Trail. Choosing the former option will shorten the hike because with this option you board a boat across both Swiftcurrent Lake and lovely Lake Josephine.
