We left our home in Kalispell with company from Bozeman, headed for Glacier National Park-Logan Pass-Hidden Lake Trail.
The Hidden Lake Trail is one of the most popular hikes in Glacier National Park. The trail to the Hidden Lake Viewpoint is about 3 miles roundtrip. About half of the trail is a boardwalk and remember no going off the trail. Glacier National Park wants to avoid damaging the plant life that grows there.
Logan Pass is on the Continental Divide and the elevation is 6646 feet.
The Mountain Goats are our favorite!!
Logan Pass Vistor's Center
Arrive early for a parking place or you might have to keep circling the parking lot looking for someone leaving.
There is a small gift shop/bookstore/information desk but no food or drinks at the Logan Pass Visitor's Center.
"No words can describe the grandeur and majesty of the mountains, and even photographs seem hopelessly to dwarf and belittle the most impressive peaks."
George Bird Grinnell, (Father of Glacier National Park) 1901
George Bird Grinnell (1849-1938), American anthropologist, scientist, conservationist, publisher, writer and explorer who helped establish Glacier National Park.
Hidden Lake Trail closed beyond the viewpoint of Hidden Lake due to bear danger.
As we hiked below Clements Mountain you could see the amazing colors in the rock.
Abundant wildlife
The wildflowers are just beautiful!
