<p>Photos courtesy of Jake Bramante. I'm a huge fan of the Highline Trail. A big reason for that is the amazing views. One of them that you have to work for is the Grinnell Glacier Overlook. It's a spur trail just before you get to Granite Park Chalet (if you're hiking from Logan Pass) that is pretty unforgiving for about 3/4 of a mile. When you get there, however, you look down on the almost mint green waters of Upper Grinnell Lake which is that way because of Grinnell Glacier that feeds directly into it, which is that big chunk of snow/ice that you see just to the right of the lake in the picture. This whole basin used to be Grinnell Glacier, but it's receded to the point to where there is now a lake, Grinnell Glacier and Salamander Glacier in the foreground. Either way, it is a breathtaking view into the Many Glacier Valley with Angel Wing in the middle of the shot, Mt. Gould towering above the glacier, the red rocks of Mt. Allen and far off in the distance to the right is Mt. Siyeh, one of the six over 10,000ft peaks in the Park. More information of Bramante's project is available online at www.hike734.com</p>
