There’s no doubt that hiking in Montana is an experience like no other. The Treasure State is a gem meant for nature lovers, and our beloved Big Sky Country is full of hiking trails for all skill levels and preferences. And if breathtaking scenery is a requirement for your next hike, we highly recommend you make a trip to Glacier National Park and find the Hidden Lake Trail.

The Hidden Lake Trail starts at the back of the Logan Pass Visitor Center and takes you to a breathtaking lookout.

The entire trail is about 5.3 miles in length (out and back) and it's considered moderately challenging. If you're a beginner, consider taking a more seasoned hiker with you or just hike part of the trail.
Most of the first mile of the trail is a boardwalk, offering a nice, easy trek.

Logan Pass is a magical part of the park, and this is a fantastic way to enjoy it.
There truly isn't a boring part of this trail—every step is scenic.

The alpine meadows, the rugged mountains, and the blue skies make it especially memorable.
