Full Course Details
Sit on the shore of a 1.5 billion year
old sea. Hold the remains of fossilized ancient algae,
one of the earth’s first life forms, in the palm of your
hand. Walk in the carved out paths of massive ice sheets.
Come experience the unexpected as we hike the geologically
unique and stunning Highline Trail. We’ll walk on the
continental divide on one of Glacier’s most spectacular
trails and learn how this breathtaking landscape came to
be. Our route along the Highline Trail will take us to
Haystack Butte, about seven miles with 1,000 feet elevation
gain and loss. |
