Experience the high-elevation beauty of Glacier National Park on the Hidden Lake Overlook hike. Starting at Logan Pass, atop the Continental Divide, participants traverse a stair-stepped boardwalk that climbs through vibrant subalpine meadows and forests of fir trees. Along the way, you’ll gain insights into how glaciers carved the peaks, how alpine and subalpine environments form, and how specialized plants and wildlife adapt to these harsh conditions. This hike provides an immersive opportunity to connect with both the natural and geological history of one of Glacier’s most iconic landscapes.
Discover the wonders of Hidden Lake as you reach the overlook, where a glacially carved alpine lake awaits. The hike highlights the interplay of natural forces and human care, from ancient seas turned to stone to water flowing in opposite directions from a single ridge. Participants will also have the chance to observe wildlife and enjoy the seasonal wildflowers, all while guided by educational interpretation that enriches the understanding of this fragile, high-altitude ecosystem.
