Glacier’s National Park's popular Highline Trail has opened for the season from Logan Pass to Granite Park. The moderate trail is a favorite for many hikers and guests heading to the Granite Park Chalet from Logan Pass.
The trail had been closed due to bear activity and snow.
The Highline Trail runs to Goat Haunt, though snowdrifts beyond Granite Park can make early season travel difficult.
In addition, visitors should note that vehicle reservations will be required starting July 1 at Glacier's east-side entrances at Two Medicine and Many Glacier.
The reservation requirement runs from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Hikers and bikers do not need a reservation. People with a campground reservation or a lodge reservation also do not need a separate reservation.
Reservations in advance have sold out, but the park releases additional reservations each day 24 hours in advance as well. Reservations are available at Recreation.gov.
