We got up early this morning and left our hotel in Bozeman around 7:00 am. We started our drive though Montana towards Glacier National Park. We arrived at the western entrance of the park 5.5 hours later, around 12:30.
The first sight in the park was Lake MacDonald. The aqua color of the lake was stunning. We ended up eating our lunch on the lake, before departing for the rest of the park.
We then started our accent to Logan pass. It was slow moving due to traffic from construction. However it was filled with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks.
We finally arrived at Logan Pass sometime around 3:00 and started towards the Hidden Lake trail. To our surprise, the trail was completely covered in snow, and the trail was marked by footprints. The slippery 1.5 mile trail in the snow had great views. The viewpoint at the end featured the frozen hidden lake below. At the view point we also came very close to a mountain goat and a marmot.
We got back to the car around 4:30 and began our decent down the pass. Traffic was slow and we left the park en route to Trout Creek around 6:00.
We arrived in the tiny town of Trout Creek, at Jamel’s aunt’s house just before nine. We were all hungry, so we cooked up some pasta. After dinner we went down to the dock on the lake and watched the sun set as the moon rose. We then returned to the house where we watched a movie and called it a night. Tomorrow we are headed back home to Seattle.
