Sperry Chalet is open for the 2025 season

The early spring this year means there are already huckleberries on the bushes in the lower part of the Sperry Trail. Up high we are starting to see a spectacular beargrass bloom coming in. This is going to be a great hiking summer and we can’t wait until you get here.

If you are only planning a day trip to our little mountain chalet, the Sperry dining room will be open from 11:30 to 5:00 every day this summer. One of the secrets of Glacier National Park is that Sperry Chalet serves the worlds best grilled cheese sandwiches. Hike on up and try one.

The Sperry Trail is clear of snow all the way from Lake McDonald to Sperry Chalet. We have reports that the Sperry Glacier trail is passable. We have not heard any reports from Gunsight Pass yet. Even with the low snow this year there still could be high angle snow drifts at the pass. The smart move is to wait for a trails report before attempting the more hazardous Gunsight Pass trail.

Happy Hiking!

Welcome to Summer!

We are watching mountains, trails, and roads emerging from their winter snowy blankets. Summer must be here, and a bit early too with plans to open Going to the Sun Road imminently here in the middle of June. We are excited to get back to the high country.

Granite Park Chalet visitors may start planning your food orders.

Sperry Chalet visitors should reserve your horseback rides if you want one.

For everyone that wants to be fashionable this summer, we have new chalet tee shirts and stickers! Find them off the shelf at Park Provisions, off the highway on the west side of the park. Or online at the GrizzlyGoat gift shop.

Looking forward to seeing you on the trail!

We want to thank everyone for your enthusiasm. As usual, we have sold out our chalets on the opening day of reservations. We are so sorry if we could not create the reservation you wished for.

Some frequent questions:

We do not keep any waiting lists. We will show any vacancies on the availability pages of our websites.

There is no schedule for updating the availability calendar. In our experience cancellations are unpredictable. The only rule we have for calendar updates is "as needed".

Guided Workshops are not refundable. Unless we have an opportunity to sell the workshop space to someone else.

No one makes a reservation planning to cancel. There is no schedule for when openings may arise. Be patient and persistent. Good luck.
