Difficulty: 12 miles, 1600 feet elevation gain; includes Grinnell Glacier overlook. Another excursion to Swiftcurrent Mountain is possible, but we did not take it.
Preparation: Hike from Logan Pass to "The Loop" (refers to a sharp switchback in the road) for a net downhill. Bring lots of water on a sunny day.
Summary: Though the views similar to those from the road, it's nice to have the luxury to take one's time. The Grinnell Glacier overlook is worth it. 4/5
