Granite Park
Anyone want to put a foot on each side of the continental divide at the same
time... this hike will give you that opportunity... you can make it a one way
hike from
the Lake McDonald side of the divide to the Many Glacier side of the divide...
12 miles in length, gaining 2500 feet of elevation... 2 volunteers are needed
to drive the vehicles on around to Many Glacier...
... most of the elevation gain is used to climb to the Granite Park Chalet...
from there it's a hop, skip, and a jump up to Swiftcurrent pass...
energetic folks can go ahead and scramble up to the lookout on Swiftcurrent
Mountain (8436 feet)... the hike finishes with a stroll along the shore
line of several little lakelets... eventually passing Redrock Falls and
Redrock Lake on the way to Many Glacier.
