Glacier National Park - Hiker Forum Board

Go back to home page

The hikers in the park are the people who report on this board. This is not a government sponsored site. If you are a hiker and just made a hike then please help by updating the trail board with your hiking experiences and with the latest hiking conditions at Glacier. You can even upload your own trail pictures.

Every trail featured in the Glacier hiking forum board is colored in on the map below. Blue trails are lower in elevation and snow melts away faster on these trails. Many of the lower elevation trails are generally open by May. Red trails are higher elevation trails which can be clogged with snow well into July. To see the details of any particular trail on the Glacier hiking forum board simply click on the appropriate area in the map.

GNP reports: Quarter Circle Bridge is CLOSED due to flooding. Hikers can park at the closure and hike through approx. 1 foot of water prior to the bridge. This will add approx. 1.5 to 2 miles of hiking from the closure to the trailhead. 5/30/09 Snow Cover: Trail is clear till last few hundred meters which are snow covered. 05/17/2009
