Glacier National Park Hiking Trails

My dad and I are visiting Glacier National Park in July.

We were wondering which trails to hike? We both enjoy strenuous day hikes that lead to amazing views. Our ideal hike is somewhere around the 8-12 mile range.

Which Glacier National Park hiking trails best fits us?

Top 3 Glacier National Park Day Hikes
by: Perry

Strenuous, 8 - 12 mile, Glacier National Park day hikes that lead to amazing views, eh? Below are my top three suggestions:

1. Numa Ridge Lookout - 11.2 miles roundtrip. 2,930 feet in elevation gain. Begins at Bowman Lake Campground.

For more information around the area, please visit my Bowman Lake page

2. Mount Brown Lookout - 10.8 miles roundtrip. 4,305 feet in elevation gain. Begins at Snyder Creek Trailhead, near Lake McDonald.

This is unquestionably the most challenging Glacier National Park day hike. Begin early to avoid afternoon thunderstorms and bring all the water you would need, as none is available.

For more information around the area, please visit my Lake McDonald Lodge page

3. Siyeh Pass - 10.3 miles. 2,240 feet in elevation gain. Begins at Siyeh Bend along Going to the Sun Road.

This is my favorite day hike in Glacier National Park. Not as challenging as the above two, but amazing views throughout--plus, you still climb a mountain pass.

For more information around the area, please visit my Logan Pass page

If you have any additional questions or would like a custom itinerary planned to meet your trip goals, I offer custom itineraries for your Montana Vacation.
