By the 1950s, only the Sperry and Granite Park chalets survived inside Glacier Park. The railroad, looking to get out of the hotel and concessions business, stopped serving food at the chalet in 1953. The following year, it sold the Sperry Chalet to the National Park Service for $1.

The Park Service hired Ross and Kathleen Luding to manage the surviving chalets. Since the 1950s, both chalets have continued to host legions of backcountry travelers. In the 1990s, as decades of deferred maintenance took their toll, Sperry and Granite Park were temporarily closed and restored at a cost of more than $3 million.
