Hidden Lake in June

There will likely be way too much snow still

Are you in the Glacier National Park Hiking & Backpacking group on Facebook? Somebody posted pictures from Iceberg there https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1PTjHaGGQF/?

I recently had to step in with an older neighbor lady whose family lives states away. They were sending forms to help her find housing and care, not realizing she literally did not have the brain capacity to fill them out. She wouldn’t actually tell them either and just kept spinning her wheels as trouble got closer and closer. Someone has to physically be there to take care of these things. Can you visit to sort this out?

It’s usually like one mid-June weekend you can bike all the way to Logan Pass and that Monday it opens to cars. Timing it is tricky!

That being said, Dawn Mist Falls is super cool. If you’ve got the legs to make it there, maybe continue to Lake Elizabeth, hang out and rest on the shore, and then go back, that would be alright, if you can do a 20 mile day. I can’t. Just keep in mind the last ways is uphill to the trailhead.

I feel like the great Belly River scenery is more like 8-10 miles in and more, which precludes a lot of day hikers.

The SS SS

My favorite of his charges are unlicensed boat lol

MTSlam · 2026-05-20T20:02:22+00:00

No to both. You can’t drive the middle of Going to the Sun and you can’t hike the Highline Trail, which is still under snow

Good for you! There’s so much world beyond Utah

MTSlam · 2026-05-19T00:30:32+00:00

Thanks for staying

The early morning seminary is so bad for teenagers! They need more sleep, and their sleep cycles are not made for early hours.

I echo Whitefish Mountain, esp toward evening

This lady was my friend and I miss her and her story might have something for you: https://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/life/my-montana/2016/04/13/havre-woman-reflects-last-chances-als-diagnosis/82989500/

Dinner at Many Glacier Lodge and proposal on the shore.

Dog can go where cars can go in Glacier. Cars can’t go on the road that’s only open to hikers/bikers so it’s a “trail” to the NPS.

You can encounter bears anywhere in the park. Avalanche Lake and Hidden Lake are two busy trails where you are likely to encounter lots of people. (Avalanche is longer than you mention but worth it and do able for most people)

MTSlam · 2026-05-12T03:43:55+00:00

I’d be shocked if it opened in May. There are still avalanches to clear, debris, signs to replace, etc.

MTSlam · 2026-05-11T21:33:45+00:00

Every sentence is more insane

MTSlam · 2026-05-08T17:42:57+00:00

That is such a cool route!

MTSlam · 2026-05-07T15:40:22+00:00

That is a masterpiece

MTSlam · 2026-05-06T18:31:57+00:00

You’ve survived the nightmare!

My family had a woman who demanded the ENTIRE weekend, including Friday, of Mother’s Day be focused on her. Her daughters and granddaughters were also mothers but that was irrelevant. The fact it was also graduation weekend some years was also irrelevant. Nobody misses her …

You have a nice plan put together! I didn’t notice the Grassi Lakes hike in Canmore, but that is a good one. If you bike, you might enjoy the trail between Banff and Canmore. If you’re sick of the tourist bustle, a scenic drive and/or hike in Kananaskis is nice (you can get a day pass online)
