Hikers follows the Garden Wall section of the trail

The Highline Trail in Glacier National Park is a scenic hiking trail stretching 7.6 miles (12.2 km) from Logan Pass to Granite Park Chalet, and continuing another 11.9 miles (19.2 km) from there to Fifty Mountain Campground. The trail follows the Garden Wall ridge and the continental divide for most of its length. The trail offers very scenic views of glaciated U-shaped valleys. A 1.2-mile (1.9 km) round trip side trail takes hikers up the side of the Garden Wall to an overlook to Grinnell Glacier.
