Hidden Lake Overlook In Montana Is The Perfect Spot For Stunning Fall Views
Fall can be a bit volatile in Montana, especially at Glacier National Park. But somewhere in between the summer sunshine and the first (several) feet of snow, there’s a blissful time period perfect for checking out all the fall foliage in Glacier. October is a fantastic time to go explore the Hidden Lake Overlook.

The trail is just under three miles in length and is ranked as a moderate hike.

Sometimes the trail is closed for part of the summer due to grizzly bear activity as well, but thankfully, grizzly sightings are surprisingly uncommon here.
