Glacier: Highline Trail
OK, we’ve been hiking for quite a few years but never on a trail like this! Absolutely stunning scenery, and some major drop-offs! Don’t even think of hiking this trail if you have a fear of heights. This trail is on the Continental Divide, and starts at 6,500 feet altitude. The hike itself isn’t too difficult, but as noted, don’t look down too much. Then, you will be rewarded with magnificent scenery, as well as some local wildlife up close.
