Great Glacier Trail

Great Glacier Trail is an out-and-back ski touring route in British Columbia, Canada, inside Glacier National Park. It is 1.5 miles each way, 3.1 miles there and back. It runs between about 4,180 ft and 5,120 ft above sea level, with roughly 1,190 ft of climbing one way. Peaks within about 3 miles include The Overlook, Mount Abbott and Glacier Crest. For camping, Illecillewaet Campground and Sir Donald Backcountry are within about 6 miles. There are 12 other mapped trails within about 3 miles, so you can combine or extend the outing. Distances, elevations and the route shape here come from OpenStreetMap and the Copernicus 90 m elevation model. Ski touring crosses avalanche terrain: read the local avalanche bulletin and carry beacon, shovel and probe.
