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. 

Many Glacier MT Glacier National Park Montana

Just before you get to Many Glacier Lodge we see Lake Sherburne. 

Here is Swiftcurrent Lake. 

Many Glacier sits on the shore of Swiftcurrent Lake. 

Many Glacier Hotel is a five-story hotel and was opened to the public on July 4, 1915. Very rustic with 214 guest rooms. Wildlife is abundant at Many Glacier. We call it the primitive side of Glacier Park. 

This day we saw 10 bears, 9 black and 1 grizzly crossed our path close enough to see her collar. We really love Many Glacier!! Remember your bear spray when hiking in bear country. We hiked along the shore of Swiftcurrent Lake to Lake Josephine and around continued around Lake Josephine and caught the boat to the other end of Lake Josephine where we hiked back around Swiftcurrent Lake and to our car. Not a long hike but well worth it. Just beautiful!!

We had lunch before our hike and the food was great! I had the lettuce wrapped red bean burger and it was excellent!

Logan Pass Back Country Ski and Hike Fun June 2012

Here are a few photos from our fun up at Logan Pass (Continental Divide)  Skiing. Pretty foggy when we got there but cleared real fast and forgot the sun screen. We were tomatoes at the end of the day. Lesson learned but so much fun up there! No mountain goats that day.
