  • The trail here is steep, steep, steep. Even I was cussing myself out for wanting to make it to the lookout. The reward is 360 degree views of the “heart of Glacier.” It was foggy today so the views...

  • View Swiftcurret Mountain from Many Glacier Hotel or hike to the top via Swiftcurrent Pass. Either way, you will not be disappointed.

  • Intensive hike. Nice views from the summit and along the Swiftcurrent Pass Trail.
  • A hard hike up from the swiftcurrent pass trailhead, but you are rewarded with views of many different glaciers and peaks from up there. No ranger was staffed at the lookout when I summited.
  • Great place to fish. The Missouri head waters are loaded with rock bass. It was a climb but totally worth it to say I also fished in Louisiana gulf where it all ends up
  • Not too tough a climb and well worth the view!
  • Great hike, well worth the view. Pack a good amount of water and snacks because it's a decent hike from any trailhead. We were able to go from Logan Pass via the Highline trail with a quick jog up to the Grinell glacier overlook.
