Sperry Chalets are located in a picturesque high-mountain cirque,
with precipitous, highly colored Edwards, Gunsight, and Lincoln Peaks
hemming it in on three sides. It is reached by trail only from Lake
McDonald and from Sun Camp via Gunsight and Lincoln Passes.
Mountain climbing, exploring Sperry Glacier, fishing in nearby Lake
Ellen Wilson, and meeting mountain goats are the chief diversions of
this entrancing spot, located at timberline. During late afternoons
goats are to be seen perched against the cirque walls. Practically
every evening they start down for the chalets, to reach there after
midnight and fill expectant visitors with joy. Besides these, deer,
marmots, conies, and Clark nutcrackers and other wildlife are abundant.
