Glacier NP - Sperry Glacier

Howdy,

Cole said we should start a blog, so I've invited Cole and Brian to help maintain a team blog. I took the liberty to write up the first entry. Dani and I just returned from vacation in MT, so material is easy to come by.

Last week Dani and I travelled to Glacier NP in northern Montana for a week of camping, hiking/backpacking, and whatever else we found to do. We entered the park on Friday night from the west side and camped by Lake McDonald. Then we snagged a campground at the avalanche basin campground. Saturday morning we did a hike/run to Sperry Glacier via the Sprague Creek trail (see map below). The day is about 20 miles and 5,032 ft of elevation gain.
