Reservations update and room size

A big thank you to everybody who's shown interest in staying with us at Granite Park and Sperry Chalet! If you have not secured a reservation please keep an eye on the "Availability" calendar of each website. If an opening is posted that you're interested in, fill out a new reservation request form. Be sure and list any "alternate dates" that work for you, whether you're open to a shorter stay, and whether you're open to a smaller or larger room (if your preferred is no longer available). The more you tell us, the better we can do to match our availability with the needs and preferences of your party. Speaking of room sizes...

We've gotten a lot of questions regarding room size and party size.
Question: If I received a 4 person room for my party of 2 people, can I bring extra people?

Answer: The ability to increase your party size after booking depends on the number of visitors at each Chalet for that day. We have a strict occupancy limit for overnight guests and you can only increase your party size after booking your stay if a chalet has availability. Increasing your party size is not guaranteed.

If you seek to increase your party size, you MUST call or email our office following your reservation booking to see if the chalet has reached its max occupancy rate on the days of your reservation. If there's room, we can increase your party size. If the occupancy limit has been reached, your original reservation cannot be increased.

This is a practical reality. Both chalets have to plan ahead for linens, food, propane, and other supplies, which must be packed up by mule trains each week. We strongly suggest you make any party size requests as early as possible, but no later than 14 days before your reservation, to help us prepare for the accurate number of guests each night.

Along those lines, friendly reminder that you must adhere to the number of people in your party as listed in your confirmation email (even if your room size is larger). Additional people not approved in your reservation party size will be turned away.

Still have questions? Check out the FAQs page of our website or shoot us an email or call.

Granite Park Chalet Information:

Granite Park Chalet was built in 1914 and 1915 by the Great Northern Railway to provide comfortable back country accommodations inside Glacier National Park. It was the last of the chalets built by the railroad and one of the only two back country chalets that have survived. Today this rustic lodge is listed as a National Historic Landmark and it continues to provide comfortable lodging to adventurers and visitors in the Glacier National Park wilderness.

Camping in the Granite Park Area:

For those who wish to camp out, the Granite Park campground is administered by the National Park Service. For information on back country camping permits in Glacier, see Glacier National Park's Back country Camping Guide.

Weather:

The weather in Glacier is very temperate, but temperamental. The temperature in July and August varies from 29 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit at chalet elevations (6500+feet). The evenings are usually cool and the buildings are not heated, so you'll need warm clothing for evening use. Sudden rain squalls or thunderstorms can occur, so rain gear should always be carried. Comfortable, appropriate footwear and good socks for mountain hiking, are recommended. Sore, blistered feet and cold, wet bodies are the biggest fun killers that can be encountered.
