You’ll also pass a small swampy area, where water still collects. These were formed by an ancient inland sea, that once covered the area. In the foreground, check out the protruding rock. GTTS Road travels along the side of the Garden Wall for miles. From this angle, Clements Mountain appears to stand alone atop the Continental Divide, but actually, it’s just the tail end of a long range, that towers above Hidden Lake.Īs you climb up the gradual slope above the visitor’s center, you can look north to see the Garden Wall, a long, knife-like ridge (it’s called an arête).

The trial is roughly at tree line, so there are only a few struggling firs along the way.Īs you can see from the picture above, you’ll be making a slow climb as you hike up to the base of Clements Mountain. You have to stay on the walkway to avoid damaging the delicate arctic plant life that grows here. Most of the first half of the trail is a boardwalk. I’ll refer to the viewpoint trail as the “first half” and the lake trail as the “second half”. If you decide to hike on to the lake itself, that’ll take another 3 miles roundtrip. The trail to the Hidden Lake Viewpoint is about 3 miles roundtrip.
The parking lot is small, and visitors are many, so be prepared to circle the lot numerous times before a space opens. Also, you may have a hard time finding a parking space here, especially if you arrive at the middle of the day.
The facility is small, offering bathrooms and a small gift shop/bookstore/information desk, but nothing more. You won’t find food or drinks at the Logan Pass Visitor’s Center.
