Hidden Lake Overlook Trail- 2

The trail left the boardwalk as you can see here.  The knees were happy with the change.


We did some climbing and trudging over rocky terrain, but soon leveled out.  My knees were aching and I was almost ready to turn back when we met some other NC hikers our age who said, Keep on!  You don't have far!  It is so worth it!"


The level area had this gorgeous little pond that I loved enough to stop right there and stay a few days!


It really wasn't far at all to a little rocky ledge where we got this view of Hidden Lake below.  The trail goes on for hardy hikers to the edge of the lake below.  We were happy to enjoy our lunch right there.


And look who joined us for lunch!!  Mama mountain goat was wandering around us too and they both wandered back down the mountain as we did all the way to the pond.

Glacier NP is a really wonderful place!  The Amtrak train still stops at several places on the park edge.  Great Falls, MT airport is not too far away!
