Though the record-breaking amounts of visitors to Glacier National Park are welcome, some hikers might wish to get out of the traffic and see the park like a park is meant to be seen—you know, quiet, serene, and without metallic flashes in the distance from cars driving up Going-to-the-Sun road. Trips into the backcountry will surely transport you away from civilization, but for the more day-hike-minded adventurers among us, there’s the Huckleberry Lookout Trail. Accessed by the West Glacier entrance via Camas Road, the trailhead is easy to get to and nestled amidst pristine park areas. The well-groomed trail first meanders along the McGee Creek before beginning the moderate and sustained traverse to the ridgeline 2,000 feet above the valley floor. After 4.5 miles, the trail hits a saddle between peaks in the Apgar Mountains and turns north, running along the range’s ridgeline for about 1.5 miles until it reaches the lookout. If you keep a reasonable pace, you can bag the summit and be down just after lunch. The big views of the staggering mountains to the east and north are a little far off, but the sights, full of sky and the lush valley below, are worth the trip.
