We packed a lunch and headed for Glacier again.  This time we are only about 10 miles away so much easier.  It was a Saturday morning so we expected more people and we were right – but not real bad.  This time we planned to take the shuttle so we wouldn’t have to worry about parking at Logan Pass which fills up early and stays full all day.

We were lucky enough to be the last two onto the express shuttle to Logan.  Other shuttles stop at lots of places and take even longer – the express took at least an hour to get there counting construction delays.

When we got to Logan Pass it was very crowded.  We decided to take the hike to see Hidden Lake.  We were told it was another ‘easy’ hike on a boardwalk and that in no time we’d see Hidden Lake.  What no one said was that the boardwalk had lots of big stair steps all the way and it was up a fairly steep hill.  At the end of the boardwalk there was snow on the path and it was slippery.  When we got to the snow we decided we were not equipped – wrong shoes and bad attitudes – so we turned around and headed back.  Hidden Lake stayed hidden from us.

We got back to our camp after 2pm after leaving at 9am.  The whole time, except for the approximately 1 hour hike, was on shuttles or buses.  We don’t like crowds!  Here are today’s photos:
