Sperry Glacier Trail

Scenes along the Sperry Lake Trail and Sperry Glacier Trail in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States, on September 7, 2025, show the hike, which climbs past Akaiyan Falls toward the Sperry Glacier basin. The trails feature dramatic alpine landscapes, cascading waterfalls, rocky switchbacks, and sweeping views of the surrounding high country. Lingering Canadian wildfire smoke during fire season reduces visibility across the mountain ranges, while remnants of the 2017 Sprague Fire remain visible in the forested valleys below. These trails, accessible from Sperry Chalet, highlight both the natural features and ongoing environmental challenges of the park's rugged backcountry. (Photo by Patrick Gorski/NurPhoto)
