Glacier Park Hidden Lake Hike

The trailhead starts behind Logan Pass Visitor's Center. The visitor center has no food or drinks so be prepared. There is a bathroom and a small gift shop. 

Try to get here early because the parking lot fills up fast and you might have to keep driving around looking for a parking place. 

Hidden Lake Trail is a popular hike at Glacier National Park! The trail is 3 miles to the lookout and another 3 miles to the lake. Most of the first half is boardwalk. Have your camera we usually always see mountain goats, bighorn sheep and other wildlife. 

Have fun!!

The view is amazing driving up the Going to the Sun Road 

 We parked in the Logan Pass parking lot and here we are heading up the boardwalk on the Hidden Lake Trail. 6 miles total

 Along the way we saw my favorite animals the mountain goats!!!

 Looking back toward Logan Pass parking lot. 

 Looking down at Hidden Lake. Were hiking down to the bottom today. 

 The mountain goats like to take the trails too!!

 Coming back down the boardwalk.  Really neat hike that doesn't take that long. 

 We made it down to Hidden Lake. It was a smoky day out because of some forest fires. 

Logan Pass Hidden Lake Trailhead Glacier National Park

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!
