Thanks so much for this video! It was a deciding factor in doing this hike on my first trip to Glacier last week. It was a fantastic hike, just like your video. I know the technical part you probably stopped at... It was either a 10 foot class 4 climb down a ledge or a little jump around the corner. The jump worked for me but another person i ran into climbed down the 10 foot ledge. After that it was not to tough to the top.
Wonderful video. Like all of the rest! Wondering if you can tell me if there are parts of this hike where it isn’t clear the path to follow? I’ve heard there is a hard way up and a less hard way. I didn’t see any parts in the video that had me really worried about exposure/falling. Was the path relatively easy to find and are there any risky areas?
Gets harder to follow toward the top. Blake Passmore has a great series of books called Climbing Glacier National Park. It has great descriptions as well as illustrations. This one is in volume 1.
I don’t like to give time frames to complete hikes. Everyone hikes and enjoys the wilderness at their own pace. Just like everyone runs the mile in a different time. Some can run a 4 minute mile and for some it takes 10 minutes. Therefore I believe it is an inaccurate and flawed way of measuring a hike. Rather: I give mileage, elevation gain, and trail conditions so you can gauge for yourself. That is a better way to estimate your hike. Our route on this hike was a total of about 4.7 miles with about 1,700 feet of elevation gain. The last part of the hike there is no trail, instead you are doing some minor rock climbing so it will be slower going. I hope this is helpful and thank you for watching.

opening day (Logan Pass) for 20+ years. arrive at 6am. head across the snow to Oberlin. take the exposed "down route" on the right side and class 2 scramble to the top.... bring beer (put in snow near summit to keep cool) and watch the day go by. seldom did anyone else show up.
Beautify scenery, Kim you make that hike look easy, this is a hike I will definitely do when I get out to glacier
Enjoy it!

@@nolanventures473 Thanks for such a detailed reply! Appreciate it very much. I enjoy your videos a lot :)
Very nice! Doesn’t look too tough to summit.
It is a great hike
Was it a low snow year in Glacier?
Normal snow but early and warm spring. East side of the park got more snow than the west side this winter.
How far was this hike in total?
Under 5 miles. Enjoy!
Wow!
Thank you!
How long does it take to get to that waterfall and where do you start to get there the fastest?
What is the rush? Enjoy the wilderness. Everyone hikes at a different pace. That is the beauty of it all - just enjoy it.
