Glacier National Park - Logans Pass

 

The main stopping point along the Going to the Sun Road has some pretty cool hikes. It's a continental divide

We opted for Hidden lake and highline hikes as they offered very different scenery

Hidden Lake starts along a civilised boardwalk which we thought would make a nice change from hiking up mountains

Unfortunately it doesn't stay as level boardwalk for too long. Great views – stripes of rocks in the mountains

Surrounded by flowering meadows with the mountains looming nearby

Just a little wildlife to keep us company along the way

Highline Trail

We then crossed the road and started on Highline hike. We knew we wouldn't get too far as it was late but wanted to walk on the narrow ledge cut into the mountains

Pretty good views

Path is getting a little narrow and the drops pretty significant

Had to put this one in as its about the only point P wasn't holding on during the hike

Oops, don't look down

Just to give a little perspective on the height

How could you resist the views though?
