The Hidden Lake Overlook Trail starts right behind the Logan Pass Visitor Center located along the Going To The Sun Road in Glacier National Park. It’s 2.4km’s/1.5 miles one way with an approximate elevation gain of 152 meters/500 feet. It’s one of two popular trails starting in this area, the other being the Garden Wall Trail. It can be quite crowded in the summer months so it’s best to hike it early in the morning or late afternoon/early evening.
The entire hike is open and exposed as you go through alpine meadows so be prepared for full sun exposure during the day and possibly wind. The first section is along a wooden boardwalk to keep hikers out of the slushy snow, mud and meltwater that can still be present in the early summer. http://banffandbeyond.com/hidden-lake-overlook-trail-packed-with-scenery-and-wildlife/

Hidden Lake Trail to the lake overlook is 3 miles round trip, much of it on boardwalk, through lovely meadows with open vistas.
