Rockgarden Trail Description
The Rockgarden Trail is a unique hiking route along highway 1 in Glacier National Park that loops through the lush rainforest for 0.4mi on a trail that passes by a field of large boulders. While the route is short, it also offers little in the way of elevation gain, making for a family-friendly hike that is packed with unique features and plantlife. This is an amazing trail that can be used as a means to get off the road and stretch your legs, while taking in the natural beauty of the wooded valley and remarkable rock formations.
