从骆根pass开始走的一条trail，人算比较多。这条算是休闲型，没太大难度，时间也不算长。不过尽量在下午走完。我们7月去，路上还有不少雪。虽然9点太阳才下山，但7点多过后因为在山阴处，还是有点冷的。

Nice hike with beautiful wildflowers and some wildlife along the route. If you want a better lake experience (in my humble opinion), take the hike to Avalanche Lake.

Moderate Hike, but you can turn around at any time and still enjoy awesome views! Expect to see lots of wildlife including a possible bear or two.

This hike comes in at 3.2 miles round trip with minimal elevation gain (guidebooks say ~150ft). It was a nice afternoon hike. When we went in July there were still a few areas of snow crossing, but nothing too difficult. We saw a lot of mountain goats along the trail, but no bears (the trail from the overlook down to Hidden Lake was closed due to high bear activity at the time). The views from the Logan Pass area are spectacular in every direction, and the views from Hidden Lake Overlook are great as well.

In a Fodor's National Park book we bought as we planned our road trip out West, it stated this hike was "Easy" and "Family friendly"... I think that was a bit of an undersell.Don't take small kids on this climb (unless you are willing to carry them most of the way) or people with limited mobility. The boardwalk winding up the hill is tiring, especially with numerous steep steps. It's a busy trail (congrats on finding parking at the Logan Pass Visitor Center!) and entirely in the sun. The view at the end is scenic, but definitely not the best in the Park. It's relatively short but steep; I recommend the Avalanche Lake hike branching off Trail of the Cedars for a hike of similar difficulty (longer but less steep and completely in the shade) and less foot traffic with a stunning view.

Take this hike for a picturesque surprise in the mountains. The hike maybe a bit strenuous, but the pictures at the end is marvelous.

First of all, don't let the boardwalks deceive you into thinking this is a very easy stroll - the boardwalks are there to protect the fragile environment, and they continue, with many steps, over several hidden hills before changing to a hiking trail to the lake overlook. Lots of people on the trail even after mid-September. We were there in late afternoon and missed all the goats, sheep and bears that hikers reported earlier in the day. Scenery isn't as beautiful or dramatic as many hikes in GNP, but this is a good hike if you have only an hour or so.

Loved this hike. We went around 12-1 in afternoon, so sunlight was perfect for taking photos. The parking at Logan Pass was awful, but we managed to find a spot. We went 1/2 way down to the lake. We didn't go all the way to the bottom because we thought the hike back up (very steep) would be way more challenging than we had wanted to do with a 25 pound camera backpack on!! It's definitely a challenge, but I''m sure it would be worth the trip. We saw collared mountain goats. Nice big rocks to sit on and have a snack or just enjoy the views while you are resting from all the incline hiking.

3miles round trip and it's up hill. good path but lots of steps . Beautiful area. The wildflowers were in bloom and several waterfalls plus we saw mountain sheep and various other little critters. The view of the lake at the overlook is antistatic. so if you are able do this.

Ok so it's not like we went backpacking but hey it's a nice walk. You get to walk up to a glacier . Go soon they are melting. Great views, a bit of exercise, it's well worth the stop. Early in the day is best the parking lots a drag.

This hike is well worth the time. We hiked on past the lookout to Hidden Lake itself. If you have the time and want a little exercise, I recommend going on to the lake, total of 6 miles round trip..

This was our favorite hike in Glacier. We saw big horn sheep as well as mountain goats. The hike down to Hidden Lake and back with photo stops took 3.5 hours. It was very fun and a good work out.

Fairly easy hike, aboaut 3 miles round trip, allow about 1.5 to 2 hrs.500 ft elevation change, and plenty of places to rest along the way.Very scenic lake at the end and saw several Mtn goats and a Big Horn sheep along the way.

Excellent view--spectacular 360 degree scenery. Definitely worth the short drive . We enjoyed it very much!

While a short hike the steps are very steep and not standardized. Quite a huff and a puff until you get past the steps - then its a lot easier. Big horn sheep and mountain goats almost guaranteed.Loved it. Take plenty of water and a snack to enjoy at the lake
