Going-to-the-Sun Road
The Hidden Lake Nature Trail rises gradually, on a boardwalk, pointed straight toward Clements Mountain, top right. The walkway helps protect this sensitive vegetation from being trampled by the hoards of visitors enjoying this popular trek. The Hidden Lake Overlook is 1.5 miles along the trail. The descent to the lake takes another 1.5 miles on rougher terrain. Before reaching Clements Mountain, left, the view north takes in the Garden Wall, top left. The first sign of wildlife may be mountain goats foraging among the flowers beside the trail. Here, the trail passes through the lush growth of the Hanging Gardens of Logan Pass. These images include clear skies because they were made in 2010. The forest fire smoke photos, on previous pages, were taken in late September, 2012.
