Grinnell Glacier Hike

When hiking the Highline Trail I did a spur trail called the Grinnell Overlook. It climbs to a ridge that overlooks the Grinnell Glacier. The top of the photo below is where we hiked to last week.

Today we hiked up to the bottom of the Glacier from the other side and I took the above photo.

The Grinnell Glacier was featured in the movie - the Inconvenient Truth. It is rapidly disappearing. In fact, all the glaciers of Glacier National Park will be gone in something like twelve years. It is quite sad.

However, this hike was very beautiful. You can see the full size photos here or view the small version slideshow below.
