The Highline Trail

The Highline Trail is the signature, marquee hike of Glacier National Park. True to its name, this spectacular path hugs the sheer, exposed rock wall of the Continental Divide high above the legendary Going-to-the-Sun Road. Because the trail starts at the high elevation of Logan Pass, hikers get immediate, sweeping panoramic views of jagged peaks, deep U-shaped glaciated valleys, and hanging snowfields without having to endure a grueling ascent through a forest. The trail traverses scenic alpine meadows filled with wildflowers, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats, eventually reaching the historic stone Granite Park Chalet.

Guided glacier trekking on the Perito Moreno Glacier is a specialized activity within Los Glaciares National Park. The glacier, covering approximately 250 square kilometers, is one of the few advancing ice masses in the Patagonian Andes. Access to the ice surface is strictly regulated and conducted via two primary excursion formats: the 'Minitrekking' (introductory) and the 'Big Ice' (extended exploration). Participants navigate a dynamic landscape of crevasses, moulins, and ice ridges using technical equipment under professional supervision. The experience provides a direct perspective on glacial movement and the hydrological processes of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
