Last week a place that I have loved for years has burned to the ground! It breaks my heart to see that Sperry Chalet is gone. I have hiked to Sperry several times and never have I stayed the night at the Chalet. I was hoping to try to get a night there this summer or next . . . I am hoping that the Chalet will be rebuilt and I for one would love to volunteer to rebuilt Sperry if at all possible!
Last year I read this book about Sperry: Welcome to Sperry Chalet I can recommend this light read for several reasons. I for one love to look into someone's unique life experiences. I love Glacier Park and the Chalets have always intrigued me for years. Sperry is a wonderful place full of stories/history. Sperry is/was an iconic lodge . . . gone but will live in hearts forever! The author of the book Beth Dunagan lives right up the street from us. I thanked her several times for sharing her Sperry story. If you are interested in what made Sperry so special have a read!
