The Sperry Chalet was gutted by fire. Lake McDonald Lodge was evacuated. The west side of the Sun Road was closed to Logan Pass.
It was an historically awful week in Glacier National Park as the Sprague Fire, which has grumbled around in the mountains above Lake McDonald Lodge for weeks, went on massive runs.
The greatest loss came on the evening of Aug. 31, when the 104-year-old Sperry Chalet was lost to the fire. The chalet, perched 6.5 miles up the Gunsight Pass Trail at the base of Gunsight Peak, was a home away from home for many hikers and Park enthusiasts.
Fund started toward rebuilding Glacier Park's burned Sperry Chalet
