And Now...Glacier Day 2

Since the fishing on day one was a bust, the boys were more agreeable to my wish to just do touristy things. In my mind, touristy things include visiting the visitor center at the top of Logan Pass, hiking the Hidden Lake overlook nature trail, and stopping to take random pictures.

This year's hike to Hidden Lake was a little more adventurous. Usually there is a nice boardwalk to follow all the way to the overlook, but we were there a little earlier in the season and the boardwalk was covered in snow. Matter of fact, it was pretty much just a giant snowfield and people were forging their own trails. It was quite interesting to pick our way across the squishy, slippery snow. But it was worth the trouble as the sights were just as spectacular as I remembered them to be.
One of my favorite sights along this trail...mountain goats

Hidden Lake still covered in ice in places
