Hiking Hidden Lake Trail, Glacier National Park
May 16, 2021
I wanted to share photos from one more hike at Glacier National Park (taken during a trip last September). Like the Highline Trail hike, we got an early start from Logan Pass (about an hour’s drive from the park entrance).

It's dark.
When we stopped to turn around, we were greeted with a brilliant orange that cascaded through the landscape.

In the daylight hours, we found ourselves once again making friends. This goat enchanted us with his mountain mystique. I was hoping he would share a haiku or bit of proverbial wisdom. But instead, he just stared at us before continuing on his journey.

I bet he’d sound like Morgan Freeman if he spoke.

Onwards.
The destination, of course, was Hidden Lake.

All in all, great hike. None of the creatures seemed to be camera shy, either!
