Note that the parking area fills up quickly and you’ll likely have trouble finding a place to park. The trail begins at the top of Logan Pass on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, 30 miles (48.2 km) from the junction with Camas Road near the Apgar Visitor Center (on the West Glacier side of the park) and 18 miles (29 km) from the beginning of the Going-to-the-Sun Road at St. Key GPS Coordinates for the Hidden Lake Trail This is a nice little hike that will introduce you to the Logan Pass area and give you some great views, as well! You can also hike back about a half a mile (0.8 km) to the Reynolds Mountain Trail – the views of Hidden Lake from the saddle are stunning, especially in the spring and early summer when waterfalls cascade down into the lake! I’ve never done this (hiking to lakes has never been my favorite thing to do), but I’ve heard from others that it’s nice. The platforms at the overlook are often quite crowded, but we’ve always found a space to look for a bit and take some pictures.įrom here, you have the option of continuing down to Hidden Lake itself, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) further along the trail. This is beautiful, especially in the sunshine (it was cloudy the day I hiked it – sigh). After 1.5 miles (2.4 km), the trail will suddenly begin a steep decent to the viewing area (overlook) of Hidden Lake. The trail winds its way around a mountain, at times quite flat and at other times up- or downhill. Boardwalks make up part of the trail – fun!
