First hike in Glacier


Planned on spending the day mostly driving around the park and acclimating myself--which I did--but when I got to the Logan Pass visitor center at the top of the Continental Divide I saw a hike listed to Hidden Lake overlook. It was only a 1 1/2 mile one way hike over mostly snow. The climb was about 450 feet, so I decided to tackle it. Only thing was, the starting point was over 6600 feet. I was huffing and puffing all the way up! Saw a few mountain goats who weren't camera shy at all, as well as a marmot along the way. Haven't seen any critters that can eat me yet, though!
