Review:
One of Glacier National Park’s most beautiful mountains, Mount Grinnell is located at the western end of the park’s Many Glacier Area, between Mount Gould and Mount Wilbur.
There are several trails to the summit. Coming from the southwest along the Granite Park Chalet Trail, you get fantastic views of the Lake McDonald Area peaks to the west and, in the distance, the Livingston and Lewis ranges.
Once you reach the summit, Mount Grinnell provides a vista all the way to Chief Mountain.
The elevation gain from the trailhead is 4,550 feet, but you will be going up and down, so the actual round trip is only about 13 miles. Keep in mind that the entire area of Northern Rockies is full of wildlife. There are mountain lions, grizzly bears, and black bears above the tree line.
