It's hard to believe, but its been 10 years since we launched
HikinginGlacier.com. Building this website has given me an outstanding opportunity to explore dozens of trails in Glacier that I likely never would've considered in the past - simply because I would've continued hiking the most popular trails. In the process, I discovered many hikes that are just as scenic and enjoyable as Iceberg Lake, the Highline Trail or Avalanche Lake. Moreover, this website has given me an opportunity to discover many things about the park that I otherwise probably wouldn't have taken the time to learn, such as its rich and extensive human history, as well as the park's natural history, including its wide range of flora and fauna.
When we first launched this website in 2011 we covered roughly 40 hikes. Today the site covers a total of 68 hikes, and continues to grow. Over the last 10 years I've committed myself to making this the best possible online resource for hiking in Glacier by providing accurate trail descriptions, interesting historical anecdotes pertinent to as many trails as possible, and providing photographs that accurately showcase the beauty and the highlights of each hike.
Since launching HikinginGlacier.com in 2011 my wife and I have launched two additional websites for two other national parks. They include
RockyMountainHikingTrails.com in 2012, and
TetonHikingTrails.com in 2014. If you've never had the opportunity to visit either of these parks, I highly recommend both of them. Like Glacier, each of these parks offer many outstanding hiking opportunities.
Thanks to all of you for your support over the years!
