Highline Trail

A panoramic trail along the cliffs of the Garden Wall, overlooking Going-to-the-Sun Road and McDonald Valley the whole way.

The Highline Trail heads north from Logan Pass. Its first section includes a narrow path along a cliff edge, fitted with a guide rope. It then follows meadows along the mid-slope of the Garden Wall to the Granite Park Chalet, about 12 km away. From there, it descends to The Loop shuttle stop. The one-way trek is about 18.8 km. From the Granite Park Chalet, you can make a side trip to a viewpoint over Grinnell Glacier, which adds about 2 km round trip with a steep climb. A one-way hike requires the shuttle bus, and those with a fear of heights should take care.
