48°36′18″N 113°47′11″O / 48.605, -113.78639 Le Sperry Chalet est un chalet américain situé à environ 10 km à l'est du lac McDonald, dans le parc national de Glacier dans l'État du Montana. Le chalet fut construit en 1914 par la compagnie ferroviaire Great Northern Railway. Il est classé comme National Historic Landmark. Avec le Granite Park Chalet, le Sperry Chalet est un des deux châlets restants dans les zones reculées du parc national de Glacier[1],[2],[3],[4].
Le chalet est uniquement accessible via deux sentiers de randonnée. Entre le parking et le chalet, le touriste doit réaliser une marche d'environ 10 km, composée d'une ascension avec un dénivelé positif d'environ 1 000 mètres. Le sentier longe le Mont Brown et le flanc occidental du Mont Edwards. Un détour permet de voir le Glacier Sperry. L'autre chemin fait environ 15 km de long et débute sur la route Going-to-the-Sun Road. La durée moyenne de la marche de ce dernier sentier est de 9 heures.
Le chalet est niché dans un cirque naturel formé par un glacier et est composé de deux bâtiments. Il n'y a ni électricité, ni chauffage, ni eau sous pression dans le chalet vu son éloignement.
