August 6th – Glacier National Park

I drove to the Apgar Visitors Center on west side of Glacier, which was only about a 15 minute drive from the campground.

I boarded a shuttle bus going east to the other side (St. Mary’s).

At St. Mary’s I boarded a shuttle bus going back the other way. I stopped at Rising Sun stop where there was a restaurant at a lodge and had a very delicious lunch.

As the bus left there, we saw a bear at the edge of the parking lot going into the woods. My first bear on this trip!!

Logans Pass – Walk around the back of the building, where you will see signs to hike to Hidden Lake Overlook. It is the easiest and shortest. It took approximately 3 hours both ways and I’m a slow walker. Lots of mountain goats along the way.
