Check Logan Pass Weather & Trail Conditions

Conditions around the Hidden Lake Trailhead can be dramatically different from those at lower elevations in Glacier National Park. While Apgar or St. Mary may be warm and sunny, Logan Pass can be cloudy, windy, cold, or covered by lingering snow.

Snow frequently remains around the trail well into summer. The webcam provides a visual indication of current conditions and can help hikers determine whether snow, fog, rain, or low clouds may affect their plans.

Summer thunderstorms can develop quickly, while early and late-season storms may bring fresh snow to the Continental Divide. Wildfire smoke can also reduce visibility during portions of the summer.

Plan Your Hidden Lake Hike

The Hidden Lake Trail begins near the Logan Pass Visitor Center and travels through alpine meadows and tundra toward Hidden Lake Overlook. The route is famous for expansive mountain views, summer wildflowers, and frequent wildlife sightings.

Mountain goats and bighorn sheep are commonly seen around Logan Pass, and visitors may also encounter marmots and other alpine wildlife. Because of the sensitive high-elevation environment, hikers should remain on designated trails and boardwalks.

Going-to-the-Sun Road and parking at Logan Pass can be extremely busy during peak summer periods. Checking the webcam before traveling can provide a useful look at current conditions before beginning the drive.

About the Hidden Lake Trailhead

The Hidden Lake Trailhead is located at Logan Pass along Going-to-the-Sun Road in the heart of Glacier National Park. Sitting directly on the Continental Divide at approximately 6,646 feet, Logan Pass is one of the park’s most visited destinations and provides access to spectacular high-alpine terrain.

The trail begins near the Logan Pass Visitor Center and climbs gradually through alpine meadows toward Hidden Lake Overlook. Along the way, hikers are surrounded by rugged peaks, open tundra, wildflowers, and some of Glacier National Park’s best opportunities for observing mountain goats and bighorn sheep.

Hidden Lake Overlook provides a dramatic view of Hidden Lake beneath Bearhat Mountain. The scenery and relatively accessible trail make this one of Glacier’s most popular hikes.

Logan Pass is reached via Going-to-the-Sun Road from either West Glacier and Lake McDonald on the west side or St. Mary on the east. Because the road crosses steep mountain terrain, access is highly seasonal. Snow typically closes the central alpine section of Going-to-the-Sun Road during winter and much of spring.

Even after the highway opens, snow may remain along portions of the Hidden Lake Trail. Conditions can change quickly because of the elevation and exposed location along the Continental Divide.

Parking and visitor activity are also significant considerations. Logan Pass frequently becomes extremely busy during the summer, particularly from mid-morning through the afternoon.

The Hidden Lake Trailhead Webcam provides hikers with a valuable real-time look at alpine weather, visibility, and seasonal conditions before traveling to Logan Pass or setting out toward Hidden Lake.
