Sperry Chalet
Hike-in stone chalet at 6,500 feet with meals included, rebuilt after the 2017 fire.
Why stay here
You are choosing this for where it sits.
A bed above the trail
No road, no car, no crowd. You earn the night with 6.7 miles on foot and wake up already inside the high country.
Who it fits
Fit hikers who want a historic bed and hot meals in the alpine backcountry without carrying a tent.
Pick the stay you actually want
2-person room, 3-person room, 4-person room, 5-person room. Different rooms, different prices: compare before you book and you get a base that fits, not a compromise.
Getting into the park from this bed
17 min to the Camas Creek entrance. Plan the day from that.
Measured from the property's coordinates, not guessed. Drive times use park-road speeds; add time in July and August.
Hike-in only
On foot- No road reaches the chalet. You walk in with your own pack and walk out the next day or the day after.
- Reservations open in early January for the summer season and sell out fast; book with the chalet, not a booking site.
- Bring a headlamp, layers and water treatment. Meals and bedding are provided at Sperry; Granite Park is self-catered with bedding available to rent.

Getting to the trailhead
By car or shuttle- No vehicle reservation is needed anywhere in Glacier in 2026. You still need an entrance pass.
- In shuttle season (July 1 – Sept 7) the $1 ticketed Logan Pass shuttle is the way to leave a car out of the 3-hour parking limit while you are up at the chalet.
