Montana: Granite Park Chalet, 1914

Granite Park Chalet, Glacier National Park
Granite Park Chalet is located in Glacier National Park at an elevation of 6,693 feet above sea level. The chalet was built in 1914 by the Great Northern Railway and is one of five structures in the Great Northern Railway Buildings district.
Accessed by trail from Logan Pass along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, the chalet is a moderate 7.6 miles hike along the famed Crown of the Continent Highline Trail, usually referred to simply as the Highline Trail. Much of the trail passes through the scenic Garden Wall section of the park, immediately west and parallel to the Continental Divide.
The chalet may also be accessed by the Loop Trail (4 miles with a 2,200 feet elevation gain) and the Swiftcurrent Trail (7.5 miles with a 2,300 feet elevation gain). The trails are for hikers and horseback riders only; there is no vehicle access provided.
Granite Park Chalet is a limited services facility and those that spend the night make use of the full service kitchen to cook their own meals.
