Loop Brook Trail Description
The Loop Brook Trail is a short hiking route in Glacier National Park that skirts around the edges of Loop Brook Campground on an interpretive trail that is packed with local history. Easily accessible from Highway 1, this 1.0mi trail passes by a series of stone pillars that once stood as supports for a railway trestle but now serve as a reminder of a bygone era. Along this trail, you will have scenic views of the valley along the bubbling waters of Loop Brook and, in nice weather, a good sightline up to Bonney Mountain and Bonney Glacier. This route offers the perfect opportunity to stop along the highway and stretch your legs while taking in the amazing sights and interesting local history.
