Tips
The boat ride is optional. You swap four miles of walking over more wonderful trail for some great and funny stories by some boat captains. We were ranger led hiking group and the ranger had some great tales that must have been accumulating for years.It would have been worth it to hike with them for the stories alone, alas they were just going to Grinnell Lake and not Upper Grinnell lake or the glacier which are on a different trail.
