Glacier Park beckons us with its majestic mountain peaks, waterfalls, lakes and wildlife! We head straight to the top of 'Going to the Sun Road', Logan's Pass, elevation 6646. Quite a few trails take off from the visitors center there but we narrowed it down to two and since one of those is closed due to heavy snow that leaves us with 'Hidden Lake'! A beautiful hike up across a snow field. Plenty of touristas also known as bear bait. No bears to be seen but the overlook to the lake rewarded us with views of mountain goats and big horn sheep. Pretty cool! Sherry's mom and dad did a stellar job of navigating the snowy, slippery slopes. Pretty stinkin awesome for folks in their 70's, they rocked it! No running on this trail! One slip and you go for a long slide that ends over the edge of an eternal drop. Lunch, pictures and sunburns later we are headed back down the road. Beautiful hike.
