Updated June 2026 When we planned our trip to Glacier National Park, the Highline Trail topped nearly every list of must-do hikes. The photos were irresistible—alpine meadows, sweeping mountain vistas, and a dramatic trail carved into the cliffs high above the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The good news is that you don’t have to commit to an epic all-day adventure to experience what makes Glacier National Park’s Highline Trail special.

Fall in North Georgia is magic. The mountains blaze with fiery reds and golden yellows, mornings are crisp, and the air smells of pine and earth.

Grand Canyon Hike to Phantom Ranch

The sweeping scale of the canyon, the colorful rock layers, the ever-changing vistas, seem inconceivable to the human mind. Seen from the rim, the canyon is amazing and impressive, but by hiking down, it can be appreciated on a completely different level. Our Grand Canyon hike to Phantom Ranch with two nights at PR was an exhilarating experience.

Hiking the Grinnell Glacier Trail, Glacier National Park

  • by Alice

We planned two big hikes for our time in Glacier National Park, the Highline Trail and the hike to Grinnell Glacier. Hiking the Grinnell Glacier Trail ranks high on our list of amazing adventures. This is a world class hike! The impressive Grinnell Glacier is on the northern side of Mount Gould and sits at about 7,000 feet. The hike features stunning jeweled lake views, alpine meadows dotted with wildflowers, the chance to spot wildlife, and the prize – ending at the foot of the Grinnell Glacier and its incredible setting.
