Closed for the season
It has been another remarkable and rich Glacier National Park summer. Every single day had an adventure in it. Remember that heat wave back in July? And we had a lot of bear sightings this year too. We are so grateful for everyone that could come and spend time with us up on the mountain this year.
Our office will be on light duty for a while as we wind down the year. If you have questions or needs you may reach us by Email, voice mail, or by chance during working hours.
If you are already thinking ahead to the 2025 season, reservations will become available in January. We will have updates around the end of the year with the particulars of opening dates, prices, and so forth.
Happy Hiking!

The Highline Trail opens for the season!
Good evening to all of our guests. We want to share the news that the Highline trail is now open as of July 11, 2024, in the evening.
Beware of treacherous snowfields, running water beneath the snow, and always take your time over precipitous areas and snow covered trails.
Wear Yak Trax, use your poles, carry lots of water, and wear your sunscreen. We'll see you in the high country!

Granite Park Chalet in 2024
The backcountry of Glacier National Park is as beautiful as beautiful gets right now. Granite Park Chalet is ready to help you with your adventure.
The Loop Trail is your best access. We still have quite a bit of snow at our elevation, so the Highline Trail remains closed for a little while yet. All the high country trails will have hazardous snow crossings these next couple weeks. Be sure to have sturdy waterproof footwear for your visit. Please be safe out there.
The Granite Park Crew has been on the mountain about a week now getting everything cleaned up and ready for you. Kathie, Christian, Paige, Trey and Wendy are all looking forward to seeing you.

Vehicle reservations
A frequent question we are getting is about vehicle reservations for Going to the
Sun Road.
Your chalet reservation will act as a vehicle reservation for Going to the Sun Road on your arrival date. Be sure to have a copy of your chalet reservation with you in your vehicle as you enter the park. If it is on your device, be sure it is downloaded beforehand; there may not be a signal at the entrance station.
For the 2024 season, this vehicle reservation will be required for entering Going to the Sun Road from the West Glacier entrance between 6:00am and 3:00pm.
Details about Going to the Sun Road vehicle reservations are available here: https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/vehicle-reservations.htm
