When the word was out that the Highline Trail was open, we heard the trail calling. It had been awhile since we’d hiked Glacier National Park’s epic stroll, so we gathered our packs to the high country for wildflowers, wildlife, and epic views all day. There’s something very cool about driving up to the Continental…
