This is a 3 night, 4 day backpacking loop in Glacier National Park. From late June, 2015. We started at Packer's Roost, hiking in the first night to the Flattop Mountain Campsite. Day 2 we hiked to the Fifty Mountain Camp, and Day 3 we hiked the northern section of the Highline trail to Granite Park Camp. Day 4 we hiked back down to the car. But this is more than a trip reports. Its sort of a story.

Where to begin.

This really all starts with @Vegan.Hiker . Last October (2014) I did a backpacking trip in Yellowstone, and hitch hiked back to my van. When I wrote a trip report on here about it, Vegan.Hiker suggested I should have video taped the person whom I hitch hiked with. What a great idea. So the very next weekend, I did another trip that required hitch hiking. I sat at the southern entrance to Yellowstone, holding a sign for Heart Lake. After over an hour of getting passed by, I watched a huge RV pull through the entrance gate. I put my sign down, since big RV's like this never stop for hitch hikers. To my surprise though, the driver pulled over in front of me, and honked the horn. Out popped Mario. With a huge grin on his face, he offered me water, food, and a ride up to the Heart Lake trailhead. I jumped in, and we chatted the whole ride up. Neither one of us was short on words. I asked if I could interview him on camera, to which he said sure.

Mario dropped me off at the trailhead, honked the horn a few times, and drove off north into Yellowstone. I didn't expect to ever see him again. For some reason, probably due to editing my trip video and watching in numerous times, I remembered his name.

Fast forward to late June, 2015. I was standing outside the bar in West Glacier, Montana (Frita's). Just outside the west entrance to Glacier National Park. I was with my good friend Keith, who manages the camp store next to Lake McDonald Lodge. We were planning to start a 4 day backpacking trip the next day. The two of us had developed a habit of consuming too much alcohol the night before we started trips. So this time we decided to cut ourselves off at 3 beers. No more hiking on hangovers. (That's right, I'm getting old, and usually anything over 3 beers gives me a hangover.) Besides, Keith had to work the next morning at 6 am for the morning shift before we could start our trip.

So there we were, on beer 3, almost ready to call it a night, when this fella wearing dirt bike gear walks up to the bar. He glanced our way, nodded, and kept walking. I recognized him, but couldn't place him at first. After a few seconds, it came to me. "Hey, is your name Mario?" "Yea" he said, looking confused. I replied, "You won't recognize me because I have grown a beard, but you gave me a ride last fall in Yellowstone." Immediately a huge grin came on his face. "Joey with a beard!"

So much for only drinking 3 beers. Next thing I know, we where shooting top shelf scotch, chasing it with double IPA's. More times than I can remember. According to Mario (I'm not sure if he was floating my boat), after watching me walk off into the Yellowstone backcountry, he wanted to start doing backpacking trips himself. So he went to a gear shop, and completely outfitted himself with backpacking gear. He did one short overnighter in Colorado, and then headed up to Glacier to do his first multi day trip. He had just arrived to the park, and was wanting to go backpacking the next day. I invited him to join Keith and I, and he was in.

Now, fast forward about 3 hours of me having a great time, even though I don't remember much about it. Fast forward another 8 hours of sleep that ended with me waking up to a dog chewing on my arm. My van was missing. Keith was missing. My phone was dead. I was on a pull out bed in Mario's RV, which was nicer than any bed I've ever owned. I had no idea where we actually were. Other people were sleeping on other pull out beds. I recognized faces, but had no names for them. This RV was huge. An empty bottle of Crown Royal was lying next to me. I tried to sit up, but couldn't. Holy wow was I hung-over. No way was I going hiking that day. And the dog was still chewing on my arm. As my head spinned, a door opened, and out popped Mario. Only wearing boxers, he excitedly walked out into the kitchen, smiled, and said "Joey!! Dude, we're going backpacking today!!"


It was still a few hours before I could actually stand up (and several cups of coffee). Around 3pm, Mario and I finally headed for the park. We stopped at the Apgar Backcountry Office, and pulled our permit. I could write a complete separate essay on the douche bag (Brad) who gave us our permit, but I'm not wasting my time. Next, we drove to Lake McDonald, and found both my van and Keith. Keith had some how woken up at 5am, found the keys to my van, managed to get it to start (sometimes it requires a trick or two), and made it to work on time. He was already packed and ready to go. I threw my stuff together, and we headed for Packer's Roost.

It was 6pm when we finally hit the trail. It was still extremely hot, in the mid 90's. Almost the entire section of trail goes through fire burn (fires from 2003). We followed McDonald Creek for a few miles, before crossing over and climbing up 2,200 feet to reach our camp. We struggled. Thankfully, the ridge blocked the sun, and the temperatures cooled off.

There are several waterfalls that we passed as we climbed up the switchbacks.

As we neared camp, wildflowers littered the ground. Mario, who was so exhausted he could barely speak, muttered a few sounds, pointed at the flowers, and managed to sound out the word "beautiful".

It was after 10:30 pm when we finally reached our campsite, roughly 6 miles of trail. Most people will probably not speak highly of the campsite along Flattop Mountain. I used to be one of those people. However, at dusk, surrounded by mountain peaks, its an amazing place. Especially with the full moon shining light on all the barren, dead trees. We quickly pitched our tents, and then ate dinner. Mario could barely eat, and almost threw up. But he didn't complain. It was after midnight when we finally went to bed.

Day 2. We woke up early. Once the sun popped up over the mountains, it was too hot to stay in the tents. Mario was feeling much better, and was in cheerful spirits.

No words necessary.

We only had 6 miles (roughly) to hike for the day, to reach Fifty Mountain Camp. (All of my mileage and elevation numbers are rough estimates. I do not have maps in front of me to give exact numbers.) After a little bump of uphill, we followed the top of Flattop Mountain. Because most of the trees have burned, the views of the mountains in every direction are amazing. Clear, blue skies, along with wildflowers really made the scene spectacular.

These are the large meadows you pass on top of Flattop. Back in 2012, I watched a beautiful black wolf frolic in these meadows for a few minutes. This is one of only 2 places I've seen a wolf in the Glacier backcountry.

It was another hot day, but the hiking was fairly easy. Soon we started dropping down switchbacks towards our camp.

We made it to our camp at Fifty Mountain in the mid afternoon. Still early in the backpacking season, there was only 1 other group camped there. We set up our tents, and then went to eat an early dinner.

Over the years, I have camped at the Fifty Mountain Campsite quite a few times. Almost always, I manage to see grizzly bears somewhere in the vicinity of camp. I had my binoculars with me, and started scanning the meadows. Sure enough, I found 3 bears. One sow grizzly with a cub, and another adult grizzly a few hundred yards apart. After dinner, Keith and I decided to hike out to Fifty Mountain, which is a very spectacular vista. The bears were far enough away that it was safe. Mario was a little worn out, and decided to stay back at camp. So Keith and I headed down the trail towards Fifty Mountain, which is about a mile away from the camp. As we approached the pass, the sow grizzly winded us, looked our direction, and scramble up the ridge, along with the cub. Keith managed to get this next zoomed in picture of the sow on top of the ridge before it disappeared.

Soon we made it to Fifty Mountain. The sun started going down behind the mountains. The area is called Fifty Mountain because supposedly you can view 50 different mountain peaks. I've never taken the time to count them all, but its probably true. The combination of that and the surrounding meadows make it one of my favorite places in the park.

As we started hiking back towards camp, we noticed the sow grizzly and cub had come back out. Here are some shots I took of them:

Now here is a zoomed in photo Keith took of them:

Soon we were back at camp, and called it a night.


Day 3: After 2 days (and several weeks) of sunny, hot weather, things changed. The sky was overcast, and the temperature dropped. It would sprinkle on us a few times during the afternoon. We had roughly 11.6 miles to hike to our next camp at Granite Park. This section of trail is known as the northern highline trail. It follows the west side of the Continental Divide, staying mostly above tree line. A very scenic section of trail.

Heading towards the Sue Lake Overlook



The trail climbs steeply up switchbacks right off the bat. But the views are excellent. At the top of an un-named pass, there is a short spur trail to the Sue Lake Overlook. Sue Lake is on the other side of the divide. Its one of my favorite un-trailed alpine areas in the park.

As we hiked south, the views were spectacular:

We still had a few small patches of snow to hike over:

Next we had to cross the snowfield at Cattle Queen, which wasn't difficult:

Soon we reached the spur trail to Ahern Pass. Its a short side trip that goes up about 300 feet overlook Helen Lake and Elizabeth Lake. We decided to go check it out. The views at the top were amazing!

After spending some time at the pass, we dropped back down to the trail, and continued south. Next up we had to get around the Ahern Drift. Normally in June its a steep, slick, challenging snow slope. But this year there wasn't much to it. It was still steep and slick, but it was possible to drop below it, and climb back up to the trail on the other side.

I think this was the only challenging part of the trip for Mario. Which was pretty incredible when you consider he had never really backpacked before. But nothing phases this guy. He just keeps smiling.

After the Ahern Drift, it was smooth hiking. The sun had already came back out, so the views were even better. It was about 3 miles to our camp.

The Granite Park Chalet.


As we made our way down to the Granite Park Campsite, we passed a patrol cabin. 2 framers were staying there, they were doing work on the chalet. One of them offered to give us some hamburgers, fresh of the grill. Before I could say anything, Mario piped up, and said "No thanks, not right now. Maybe I'll get back to you, but right now I want to get to camp." I was shell shocked.

We made it to camp, and got the tents set up just before dark.

Day 4: We woke up to a beautiful day. We had about 4 miles, all down hill, to hike back to the car. Pretty easy. Clear skies made the hike wonderful.

The three amigos. Me, Keith, and Mario.


What a great trip. A few things of note. Mario was a fantastic hiking partner. For never hiking a trip like this before, he did great. He never complained once. He always smiled, stayed positive, and did his best.

Some of you reading this may recognize my friend Keith from my Maze trip earlier this year. He had runner's knee, and struggled to walk for most of our trip. Well, he recovered pretty well. The 2 of us did close to a dozen trips this summer in Glacier, and Keith had zero problems with is knee's. In fact, it was a struggle just for me to keep up with him. An amazing turn around from earlier this year.


The end.

Great report Joey. The story is a cool reconnection. Looks like late june 2015 was what I would call primetime judging by the flowers , snow fields and clear skies! Good job on document the trail in your photos.
 
Looks like an amazing trip. When you gave that invite earlier last year, I was really salivating. Couldn't make it work unfortunately, will have to try harder next year.
 
Unbelievable story!! I remember your original trip report and that interview. It's crazy how you guys not only crossed paths again, but that it worked out that you guys could backpack out together the next day. It's a small world, considering how big it. Truly epic stuff.
 
I didn't realize you ran into Mario again -- that's awesome!

I haven't met many Keiths -- this other Keith passes muster for sure.
 
Great pics and great story! I love the looks of that route. But every route I look at makes it tougher to choose what I want to do. They all look so amazing. I’m sure there are some “not so great” routes, but it seems like you almost can’t go wrong anywhere in Glacier!
 
Great pictures... The only downer I see is all the dead trees.. I guess burn areas?

Yeah, back in I think before 2003 (it may be 2003) a fire hit the loop and flattop mountain areas, even though people complain about how hot it gets up there, they feel like the wildlife is crazy. Flattop used to be a meadow, but since thousand and millions of years have occured it has become a mountain that wildlife still call a meadow. Its got some cool history
 
great pictures. this is a lot of what i missed there two months later in the smoke.
 
This trip is amazing, much like your other trips. Thanks for sharing. It's amazing how small the world can be for those that get out to explore it!
Salud!

Nice Post!

I've seen a wolf, grizzlies, black bears, elk, deer, and moose in the burned areas along Flattop. Back in 2007 I saw 2 bull moose fighting each other near the backcountry campsite. A pretty large grizzly was trapped near there this April, weighing close to 1000 pounds.

Wow Joey, that is one heck of a bear in GNP, also all the wildlife you saw is nuts I would kill for that sort of stuff there. Coolest I've had in GNP was a bald eagle circling me up on top of the Oberlin-Clements saddle and some moose that surprised me, but in due time I will see more stuff there. I mainly know that story of the wildlife because an acquaintance of mine likes birding and he is fascinated by the birds there because he is finding meadow and lowland river valley birds up on flattop
 
that is one heck of a bear in GNP
I was surprised to hear grizzly bears got that big in Glacier. I've always thought they were smaller compared to the ones down in the Yellowstone ecosystem. I've never seen any that big. Apparently the big ones are eating cattle out on the plains, and then traveling back into Glacier. This is just what I've been told by park biologists.

yeah, that seems very much Alaska to me, grizzlies getting into the thousands, I associate GNP bears as a lot smaller than the big boys you hear about. the eating cattle thing does kinda make sense though.
 
Thanks for bringing this back up. Great video. I haven't been to Glacier in a few years, since my daughter worked a summer at Lake McDonald Lodge. Definitely one of the most spectacular parks in the US. Another place I need to go back to.
 
Hey Joey, love the videos and report. I am planning a July 15-20 return to GNP for a 3-4 nighter after doing Dawson-Pit my last time. Do you have any recommendations? Would this loop or North Circle be possible with FiF and the Tunnel possibly being closed due to snow? Any alternatives? I guess hole in the wall may be closed as well... thanks a lot!
 
Joey has tuned out of all social media and forums. Too many people telling him how wrong he is even though he spends 250+ nights a year in a tent/backcountry. If you don't get a reply here, check out the Glacier Hiking and Backpacking page on FB. I can suggest a route that would include Stoney Indian Pass, Fifty Mountain, Granite Park, Ptarmigan tunnel, etc.... It would be a figure 8 loop.

Thanks for the quick reply. I can look at the fb group. Do you think that'd be feasible around July 15 with higher alpine snow (Ahern, FiF etc.?)
