Sperry Chalet, Mountain hut in Glacier National Park, Montana.
The mountain residence consists of a two-story dormitory building and a kitchen with dining room structure built with random rubble masonry at 6500 feet elevation.
The Great Northern Railway constructed Sperry Chalet in 1913 as part of their development initiative within Glacier National Park, establishing it as a backcountry accommodation.
The chalet, registered in the National Register of Historic Places, represents the rustic architectural style prevalent in early American national park structures.
Guests reach the chalet through a seven-mile trail from Lake McDonald, where they find private rooms without electricity, running water, or heating systems.
After the 2017 Sprague Fire destroyed the dormitory, a complete reconstruction preserved the original stone walls while adapting to current building requirements.
