Logan Pass Reviews

Glacier Park needs to do better! This location is poorly managed from parking to lack of bathrooms. One entire area of bathrooms was closed due to it being September yet the cars were lined up in the street to come in. Who is in charge???

Try to be there by 8am especially in the busy summer months or you'll have a heck of a time finding a parking space. It was about an hour drive from our lodging in East Glacier Village to the start of Going-to-the-Sun road and then another half hour to Logan's Pass and that's with not stopping much. We were there just before 8am and had no problem finding a spot. By the 9 o'clock hour the lot was full. It's a beautiful area and the start of various trails. We were there the last few days of June and there was still a ton of snow in the area which made the trails a bit more difficult but still fun! We opted for the Hidden Lake Trail.

We drove up to Logan Pass on a fine weekend day, planning to park there before hiking on the Highline trail. You guessed it: the parking lot was full. But we did find a spot close by after waiting for a few minutes. There are a few hikes that start from here, and the surrounding mountains are just gorgeous. It's worth driving through here, even if you don't have time for a hike.

Mid-day during July, the Logan Pass Visitors Center parking lot becomes full and there are no similarly-sized alternatives in the area. We had been there two years ago when the Pass was in the clouds, so parking was available. This year on a weather-perfect day, parking was not to be had.

Logan Pass is a very beautiful area! Views are outstanding! There are bathrooms available & a small gift shop. All buildings are clean & well maintained! Recommend arriving in early AM before the parking lot is full...

Oh my goodness, what beauty. Nature at its very best. We spent a bit of time here, walking around and checking out the facilities. Beauty beyond belief.

We drove early to the Logan Pass visitor center and barely found a parking spot. The trailhead for Hidden Lake is located at the visitor center, which is a recommended hike. The day we were there the snow was still packed over the trail and the wind was blowing too cold for us to venture past the first hill. I would recommend bringing warm clothing and hiking sticks to help make you way up the hill. If we would have had these along with warmer clothing we would have kept on going. Some of us wore raincoats with long sleeved thermal shirts, hooded sweatshirts, flannel shirts with hooded sweatshirts and we all wore jeans but that wasn't enough for this day (June 26th).

If you like hiking and wild flowers this is the place. You can find species that bloom all year around. Inside the visitor center there is a timeline showing all local flowers and the time during the year when they bloom.

Amazing place. Definitely utilize park shuttle to get here. Parking was full by 8am. We walked hidden lake outlook with 6, 4, and 1 yo kids. Definately a workout, but worth it. Saw lots of mountain goats and bighorn sheep.

Parking at the Visitor’s Center during the peak months is at a premium so you need to get there by at least 7 am or earlier. I got there around 7 and the lot was already 3/4 full. You can also take the shuttles as well. Great spot on the highest point on GTTS road with bathrooms and a gift shop.

Beautiful stop at to of Going to the Sun Road. We are not keen on driving the road in the dark. Parking is a hassle. Lot was full at 930. However we were patient and waited for a spot to open. The shuttle was shut down in Late September so that was not an option. Plenty of trails leave from Visitor Center. Make sure you take water and Bear Spray. You are very likely to see Mountain Sheep or Grizzlies. A must stop in the park. Go early and be patient

Logan Pass is at 6,646 feet where the Going-to-the-Sun-Highway crosses the Continental Divide. It is the highest point on the Going-to-the-Sun-Highway, and roughly 2/3 of the distance across the Park.
The scenery is quite beyond words and this is another Must-Do when visiting Glacier National Park. We found that many of our pictures showed mountains with their peaks in the clouds. What we could see was marvelous so I know the rest would be grand too.
The Visitor Center is atop the Continental Divide, and from there access is available to the Highline Trail, known for wildflowers during the summer. Access for other trails is there also.
The Visitor Center is open mid-June to mid-September and is staffed with helpful rangers and several exhibits. There is also a gift shop. The restrooms are nice and very welcome.
We had hoped to enjoy a picnic lunch we brought with us to eat there, but this area is also known for high winds, and this day the wind was frigid. We ate in the car and enjoyed the view from inside. Food service is not available here.
There is what seems like a lot of parking, but it is often difficult to find an available place, as this is a busy area.

Our first day we could never find a parking spot, so on our second day we left early and got there by 8:30 and found a spot. By 9:00 all the spots were full, and this was in September when the season has died down. The biggest problem was not realizing how cold it would be. We did not have the right clothes and couldn’t do the hiking we wanted to do. So come prepared. Don’t be losers like us.

The scenery at this summit is wonderful. The visitor center is definitely better than the one in Apgar, though not quite as good as the one in St. Mary.

There is a nature hike outside the back of the center for those that don’t want to invest a lot of time and effort into a longer trek.

We arrived around 2pm and had no issues parking. We hiked to Hidden Lake Overlook. This is a moderate 3 mile RT. Although most of it is on a boardwalk it is on at least a 10% grade in most areas. LOTS of steps as well. Last 1/4 is a natural trail, still on an incline up. We saw some waterfalls, mountain goats & long horn sheep. Some other smaller animals (not sure of names). Look up on the ridge once you get to the natural trail or in the trees. Mountain Goats were there & sheep farther down on the others side in the rocky areas. The vista and views are amazingly beautiful!! The Lake itself is nice, but no big Wow for us.
There’s a small lookout area & information. On the return the momentum carries you fairly fast & steps are a little rough on older knees, so take your time. Worth the hike up!!

We took the shuttle to Logan's Pass. We went early and left before most wanted to so the shuttle worked well for us. The views at Logan are fantastic. We did the shorter hike up to the lake overlook. It was worth it. The view all the way is great and we saw more wildlife there.

Logan Pass is the highest spot to cross the Continental Divide. We stopped at the Visitor Center and took the hike to the Hidden Lake Overlook. This trail is rated as easy because it's short and ascends via a series of steps and boardwalks. Many of the boardwalks were buried under snow and the ascent is somewhat steep. The snow made it quite slippery and slow going. (We mistakenly left our hiking poles in the car.) The views are amazing and we were rewarded with a visit from a mountain goat!

Last day of our trip they opened this part of the road. Lots of twists and turns, but gorgeous views. We had rain and sleet and parts of the trails were closed, so July or Aug would be better but busier. Dress in layers it is much colder at summit than along rest of road. Gift shop and visitors center at peak. Pit toliets available.

Get up quite early to get a spot at the Visitor's center as it can fill up by 8:30am. Hike the Hidden Lake trail to enjoy beautiful vistas, stunning wildflowers and herds of sheep and goats. Spectacular!

My wife and I visited Logan Pass twice on our week long trip. One was just to hike the Highline Trail, the other was on our way to the east side. The park is so popular that parking fills up pretty early. Consider getting an early start or using a shuttle bus if you're leaving early afternoon or later. The hike to Hidden Lake is worth the walk. I also highly suggest taking a hour and hiking thirty minutes on the Highline Trail just to check it out.

From here I walked the High Line Trail. But when we got there at 8:00 in the morning, the parking lot was full, and we managed to park a little further down. There was a clean toilet.

We took 2 vehicles on a drive from West Glacier to Logan Pass, leaving about 10 am. Fortunately both vehicles had (legitimate) handicapped parking tags so we did find a spot to park about 12:30. We ate our bag lunches on some benches on the parking lot grade(curb so a few inches up). We liked the gift shop, restrooms and hiking area behind for our non disabled. Shuttle buses and leaving earlier would have been much better! Follow the advice, parking is so tight!

The West side of GTTSR was closed due to construction so we drove to Logan Pass from the East side at St. Mary. Easy to find a parking spot that day. I hiked the 1.5 miles up up and up the boardwalk and natural path (huffing and puffing) to view Hidden Lake at the Overlook. It was another 1.5 miles down to the lake but not necessary to do that. It was worth it for sure. So beautiful on a great day.

You can't get here too early. The park is packed. Use this is your jumping off point for several beautiful trails. Small shop and bathrooms.

Logan Pass is the highlite of Going-to-the-Sun Road. Very scenic views from here in all directions, however on this trip a lot of smoke and a lot of haze, mostly to the Eastern Side of Glacier. Limited parking, however we were able to find parking spot 3 of 4 times we stopped here. Starting point for Hidden Lake Trail.

Very cool, actually had snow coming down on July 19th. Nice place to view history of the area and see views!!

Logan pass is a hot spot where most all tourists end up. Here is where you find the continental divide and if you are up for so.e hiking, take the trail to the hidden lake, you will not be disappointed! On a clear day, you will have magnificent 360° views. This is also where you can transfer on the shuttle to East Glacier.

this point open just for about 2 months in a year, so if you are not come in July or August, there may not be chance to go to this point, however, if you go there in these two months, it must be very crowed, as you can see the webcam, the parking lot is always full from the beginning of the day till the end. So some people said sometimes the entrance may be closed due to too full of the parking lot, we arrived there at about 2pm in mid-July, the parking lot seems to be full, but luckily we can still enter to this point, the road is not closed, and we actually didn't have time to hike, so go to the visitor center to stamp, and take a few pictures, then go, but I am lucky to see a mountain goat there, even you don't hike, you can take a look and take picture with the mountain (with some snow on it). If you are eager to hike there, then you either come very early to find a parking spot or you can take shuttle to go there.

The stop has a great visitor center and the view is breathtaking. Also a stop for the shuttle to take you through Going to the Sun Road.

We didn't have time to do a hike at Logan Pass on the Red Bus tour. That was as far as our tour could go due to the Sprague wildfire. The visitors center is adequate and has washrooms. I think this would be a great spot for a hike and I'm sorry we didn't have time to go back.

One of the most beautiful places in the country. It can get busy at times, but just relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy the scenery! Mid July is a great time to come through the park.

The fields around Logan Pass were filled with glacier lillies! We got great pics of big horn sheep lounging in the lillies.

Logan Pass is a good stopping point on the Going to the Sun highway-- and it's the top of the Continental Divide. The parking lot is usually jammed in July/August, but there are a few other (very small) pulloffs above and below the official Logan Pass parking lot where you may also be able to park alongside the highway-- and then you can walk back to the Logan Pass visitor center. The center offers many (and clean) bathrooms plus a great visitor center and gift shop. Unfortunately they don't offer any food or drinks. This highway and the Logan Pass visitor center is only open a few weeks a year in July-August. The views are amazing-- and you can hike for a short distance or go 1.5 or 3 miles to see Hidden Lake as well. When we visited last week, we saw 6 bighorn sheep coming down the mountain across the highway from the visitor center, 2 mountain goats very near the visitor center, and lots of birds and smaller animals. The full trail to Hidden Lake was closed given grizzly activity in the area. If you don't want to drive, the Park offers free shuttle service to Logan Pass center and several other stops-- but plan for delays and crowded shuttles in the peak season. A real highlight stop and overall view in the amazing Glacier Park. What a national treasure!

Lots of people, hard to find a parking place unless you were on the red tour bus. The view was great.

Come early or by bus since parking is tough. Very helpful Park rangers. Go behind station to view terrific scenery.

We had to drive around for about 10 minutes for a spot but so worth it. It is a nice visitors center and a good bathroom break on the GTTS road. We did the nature walk behind the center. You are in full sun and it can get hot. Bring water. It was very crowded. I am a senior and had a little trouble with the incline. I just paced myself and rested when necessary. The way down was a little tough with a bad knee because there are steps and no place to hold on. Husband held on during the steps. It was so worth it! The view at the top seeing Hidden Lake was delightful! We didn’t go down to the lake.

Up on the divide, sits the majestic Logan’s pass. If you are even remotely close to Glacier National Park, you owe it to yourself to visit and bask in the splendor of its views.

We visited the park on 3 separate occasions traveling the Going-to-the-Sun-Road. Our visit, we spent most of the afternoon touring Logan’s Pass and was simply gobsmacked at the beauty and grandeur of it.

We hiked back along the trail overlooking Hidden lake. Sadly we could proceed no further as the trail was closed due to bear activity. Yet, when you thought the views couldn’t be any better, you’d walk around the next bend in the trail, and the scene that greeted you was more breathtaking than the previous one.

Even though it wasn’t on our itinerary, the next 2 days that we traveled the Going-to-the-Sun Road, we took a hiatus from our planned activity for that day, and for about an hour on both days we just once again wandered around the pass.

If you visit Glacier National Park, Logan’s Pass (if open) is a must see.

We were very excited to be able to get to Logan Pass on the first day it was open for the season. Sadly, it was very cloudy and misty, so we missed the views. Still a thrill to be there.

We hiked up to Hidden Lake on Wednesday August 1st. We saw so many animals a long the trail including four mountain goats, 1 mountain goat/baby combo, two herds of big horn sheep, several ground squirrels, and a hoary marmot. The hike is pretty much all up hill until you get to the lake. It is rated an 8 for difficulty and it was pretty difficult but it was so worth it! Just take lots of water and go at a slower pace and you will be fine :) There were lots of beautiful flowers along the path. My only complaint was there was some spots where there was old conduit sticking up from the ground (old telephone line) that were in the trail, this really should be taken out or cut off so people don't trip or mistake it for a snake (as some people did).

Yesterday 9/13/18 .. I rode the free shuttle from Apgar Visitor Center to Logan Pass it was a wonderful trip and the views were spectacular! I was so glad to find the West side open to Shuttles and Red bus tours only. But at least open for us to see.. you get passes for shuttle inside Apgar Visitor Center. Going to East side next Monday. Center

This is one of the famous place in the Gracie’s National Park. The trail round trip is about 4 hours. Some parts of the trail was cover with snow. You can spot some wide animals like Mountain Goats and Long horn Goats. This is one of our favourite place in the park.

This is the goal from either side of the park and well worth the drive. We couldn't come from the west side because of the fire, so came in from the east. Even obscured by smoke, the top of Glacier Park offers incredible views. The gardens and paths leading from the visitors center are very well maintained and add to the beauty. Because this is where most visitors head, it's a busy place. On a week day, during the fire, with one road closed, we still had to circle the parking lot a few times to find a space. We didn't see any wildlife other than a few pikas when we were there, but can imagine the potential activity.

Logan Pass is the high point on Going-to-the-Sun Road. The Continental Divide sign is located near the parking lot entrance – photo op! The main visitor center for GNP is here as well as the trailheads for Hidden Lake and Highline trails. The parking lot fills my mid-morning during the peak months of July and August. Go early or be prepared to patiently wait for a spot to open. Be aware that hikers will be on the trail two hours or more, so some parking spots will be occupied for hours. If you are not hiking, it’s still worthwhile to stop here to check out the visitor center, enjoy the views looking in all directions, and take your picture at the sign. Be sure to look for wildlife.

We traveled to Logan Pass to be able to drive a portion of the Going to the Sun Road and to take a hike off the top. Well, from the top, the views are wonderful. In all directions. What so amazes me about Glacier National Park is that everywhere you look are mountains. Not just mountains. But high, rugged, craggy, glaciated mountains. They are just wonderful! At the Pass are the Visitor Center and a number of trails. The Park Service has developed several viewing areas. Good for them. We just kept going around in circles to see all the views!

Large car park half way along GTSSR, and the starting point for many fabulous trails.

You may have to drive around the car park a few times before a space opens up, but there is sufficient movement of people for this to happen throughout the day. However, if you’re hiking for most of the day, I’d suggest you get here early to ensure you have a space. Depending on when you are visiting, check out the NPS webcam to give you an idea of how the car park fills up on the month and time you plan to visit.

The visitors centre has helpful rangers on hand and a very small gift shop. It gets crowded as not everyone is hiking and therefore converge here. Restrooms are available.

And if the person who left a rock from 'Wandering Stones TK (Coeur d'Alene River) ever reads this - thank you. The rock has travelled to the UK now!

This area provides a great stop on Going to the Sun road. The views are excellent. Decent parking lot. There are a couple trails here as well. Note that this facility has been winterized as of September so there is no running water.

We hiked on this the first day that the road opened so there was still a lot of snow. Kids had fun sliding around everywhere and there were sheep at the top. Our twins (8) were able to do the hike.

Don't be that person literally knocking on windows asking if others are leaving or parking lot stocking. This parking lot fills before 9am everyday. We arrived around 6:30am and had a wonderfully pleasant experience without fighting to park. The lot is small for the amount of traffic it gets. We did Hidden Lake Overlook, it's steep but amazing 360 views the entire way. Only one small section that had drop off that made me careful with young kids. The rest of the way is stress free in terms of drop offs along the trail. Also saw mountain goats in the parking lot and big horn sheep along the trail.

At the highest part of Going-to-the-Sun Road is Logan’s Pass. This famous pass is 6646 feet high and marks the Continental Divide. A nice Visitor’s center greets you with plenty of bathrooms. Parking is limited. Get there early if you really want a spot, or get lucky.

Around the Visitors Center are two famous trails. We walked half way up Hidden Lake Trail before deep snow turned us around. It was July and a child was actually sledding down the hill. There were numerous wild flowers and we even saw a large marmot. From a great distance a brown bear and her cubs could be seen with binoculars.

Across the road is Highline Trail. My wife refused to go as there is a ledge that you are holding onto a rope. This trail is not for anyone with fear of heights. Just down the road there is a large Logan Pass sign where a family photo could be taken.

If you found this review “helpful” in any way, please press “LIKE” to let me know.

Beautiful surroundings. Parking could be an issue. When we visited that day parking was full at the 5.30 am too. We parked road side that too was a bit tough to get . But still should do it.

This is a must-stop-to-see spot. Visit the visitors center, but also take a hike if you are able. Our group had to walk over snow, but had a wonderful time. It is a busy place, and be aware that at the visitor center you may have to circle a while before you find a parking spot. But it is worth it.

We loved this area so much we went up to Logan's pass twice. This is the bikers dream area as well as a photographers. The visitors center is large with a great gift shop and small trail map packs that the other shops didn't have. Also the black logan s covered cups are the bomb. It keeps your coffee hot for hours and hours. Best cup ever. Large clean bathrooms and at end of season, plenty of parking. We were met at bottom of steps by two cute ground squirrels who let us take pictures and would stand up and pose. Large front area for info. Several trailhead here also. Hidden lake trail great semi flat hike. Fairly easy hike on wooden steps most of the way. We could see the ridge fire from the Hidden lake view. Also the high line trail starts at this point with its spectacular views. This trail is doable even if your leafy of heights with not much space on trail. Spectacular scenery and rock wall formation . Lots of photo opts. Go at your own pace, people are courteous and mindful of other people's hiking abilities and even ask to take photos of you for you. We plan to go back here again since the West side of pass was closed. It opened after two weeks there, the day after we left. Great place, great people. Also there is a shuttle every thirty minutes to the pass, so during busy time you can leave your car elsewhere and take shuttle . We also did Sun tour first, then by ourselves a day later to linger in the areas we enjoyed most.

Ge here early or plan to park down or uproad and walk. Parking lot fills up by 7:30am, so plan accordingly. We missed on day 1, got up earlier on day 2 and got a spot. Take the hikes, see critters. We saw grizzlies, mountain goats, and others.

Logan's pass is the highest point on the Going to the sun road. It can be difficult to find a parking spot after 10am on any day. The views are great and there is access to several trails. You can take the free shuttle to get here as well which makes sense. There is also a visitor's center, bathrooms, etc. Enjoy!!! Bring plenty of water.

Parking here is hard during the middle of the day in the summer. But we got there early and enjoyed seeing bighorn sheep running down the mountain towards the parking lot. There's a visitor center here and some hiking trails. We also saw a mountain goat!

Wow. This was extraordinary So beautiful. Saw long horn sheep. Had a great lunch at Hidden Lake. Nice hike. It was a little rough on the way down to hidden lake. Parking lot at Logan Pass is too small. Go early or you will need to park at a pull off down the road.

This was our stopping point as the Red Jammers and all other traffic had to turn around as a result of the wild fires.Even with the heavy smoke in some valleys the are was exceedingly beautiful.

I would say that this is an area with quite a lot to do, if you are one to get out and spend some time on the trails. You can access the Highline Trail from here as well as the Hidden Lake Trail and ultimately many other hiking opportunities. The Visitor Center at Logan Pass is a very popular spot and is often quite crowded so you shouldn't be in a hurry if you decide to go in. One side of the Visitor's Center is a book store operated by the Glacier Conservancy (who gives 100% of their profit back to the park directly) and the other half is full of interprertive information and a Ranger Info desk. The view from inside the Visitor Center is lack-luster compared to what you can see if you take a short walk to the Hidden Lake Overlook. You will likely see either mountain goats or bighorn sheet in the meadows and along the cliffs. Not to mention that the wildflowers are incredible in the late summer! Parking can be a bit stressful here so you may want to opt for taking the free park shuttle.

We spent the morning at Logan Pass to hike to Hidden Lake Overlook. This is a must do hike. Truly beautiful with the lake in the distance. Big Horn sheep on the trail which was cool. Most people seemed to turn back here but some continued on to Hidden Lake.

As a lot of prior reviews stated, get there early if you want a parking spot. It does fill up quick.

The parking here is tough but the hike is easy and its worth it to get to the amazing views and overlooks. The mountain goats ignore you but don't get too close. Occasionally the trail will close due to bears running through the area.

This is where I liked to start the day. Lots of trails take off from here as eel as lots of wildlife around the area. Also it is at the continental divide!

Last year we visited the visitor center at Logan Pass, which in and of itself is worth stopping along the Going-to-Sun road to see, but this year we hiked out the Hidden Lake overlook, with plans to go on to the lake itself.

First, it was July 2, 2018, and we were prepared for some rather more winter weather than one might expect in JULY. However, we were not prepared for the 1.5 mile hike to be almost entirely through snow, with heavy band of blowing snow coming through with high winds about every 15 mins. Even with the rougher weather my wife, myself, and our 11 year son, and 12 year old daughter hiked out to the Hidden Lake overlook -- the trail to the lake itself was closed due to snow. It was a bit of an adventure, especially for the kids, but in the end they have wonderful stories to tell of seeing goats, wolverines, and big horn sheep, as well has climbing across more than mile of snow fields in July.

The views when the clouds broke were spectacular, be sure to turn around when hiking both directions, the light changes quickly as does the view. Be on the look out for animals, there are plenty, even with a good number of others along the same trail.

Also, please, please be prepared! We say some really sad souls without proper jackets along the trail, and even a fellow being removed by sled due to some medical emergency, the ranger / volunteer said sometime folks try the hike in flip-flops -- while yes it is summer, there is also LOTS of SNOW at elevation which must be crossed. Flip-flops is just asking to loose a toe or two in my view.

Logan Pass area is so beautiful! We have heard so many people complain about parking, but if you go here on a shuttle you can easily enjoy the ride up and down with no parking hassles, and the shuttles come by constantly (just don't wait toooooo late!) I am recovering from a surgery and unable to do any real hiking, but I did walk part of the Hidden Lake boardwalk, and just soaked in the beauty behind the Visitor's Center.....the snow covered peaks, the alpine meadows, the crisp air......I went here at least 3-4 times in our 5 days in the park (via Red bus or Shuttle). Do not miss this, even if you can't walk far. We also enjoyed the visitor's center and gift shop (you must wait to get in and wear a mask)....good selection in the gift shop. There is a bottle refill station near the restrooms. The restrooms flush, but do not have running water to wash hands, but hand sanitizer.

We went to hidden Lake trail and it was beautiful lot of wild flowers, mountain goats, snow, beautiful mountains and lakes

Definitely one of the park's highlights. Incredible views, hiking opportunities, visitor center. If you are in Glacier National park do try to get here. Parking fills up so that can be a challenge. Nonetheless if you can get a spot (or simply ride your bike up Going to the Sun Road as we did!) you will be rewarded with loverly scenery that is worth stopping and taking in. There is a parking parking . stop perhaps a mile before the top (coming form Lake MacDonald) that has some nice views too and I suppose you could walk up the road from there to Logan pass.

We walked to the Logan Pass. This is also the the Continental Divide.

The elevation is 6646 feet

There is a lot of snow and pine trees.

I like the huge mountain nearby.

The best way to see the Logan Pass, is to park your car in the big parking place.

A must see!

Very busy stop halfway through the going to sun road. As you approach from the west you’ll probably see mountain goats at the big bend in the road just several yards from the parking area. Logan pass is a starting point for great hikes, it’s also very scenic. There’s a gift shop but no snacks sold. Parking requires patience.

Most travelers know that there is virtually no parking at Logan Pass, unless you go very early, before 8AM anytime during the week, and before 7AM on a weekend. However, there is a free shuttle service that you can take to avoid the stress of parking at Logan Pass. The trails around Logan Pass are easy, just remember to take the necessary hiking essentials while here. I try to make a visit every other year while camping in Waterton.

The mid-point of the amazing Going to the Sun Road, perched atop the Continental Divide, Logan Pass offers entry to some of the most accessible trails in Glacier National Park, as well as a one-of-a-kind view that clearly delineates the gentler stretches of the western park with the more austere landscapes of its glacially-scraped eastern end. The visitor center building itself is noteworthy for its modernist architecture, part of a general reboot of Park Service facilities in the mid-60s. Visitors should be aware (though not too many appear to be) that temperatures can vary 30 degrees or more from park entrance levels at this height -- so keep a pair of jeans and a sweater handy, even in mid summer.

as other reviewers say the parking here is horrendous because it is the only big visitor center plus people park and walk on long trails so are there for hours. and it is not even the best spot in the park. Our advice is to get to the park early before the crowds hit the pass then do a walk and then drive back late afternoon after the crowds have gone. Otherwise you will find the car parking places full and be in a moving traffic jam. We highly recommend driving west to east first thing then stop at Sunrift gorge parking area and walk towards St Mary's Falls. The first mile of the walk is stunning with views over the lake and mountains opposite. You are right up in the middle of the highest peaks. Much less busy than most hikes from the visitor center as lots of people turn around and go back there. Then on your way back you can stop at logan pass as most of the visitors will have set off home

Getting here is a treat by itself but stopping and exploring at Logan Pass is one of my favorite lifetime experiences. Plenty of hiking trails are part of the pass. There is a building on the property comprising of restrooms, a gift shop, tourist information desk, and viewing areas. Walking 🚶‍♀️ the property you may find some wildlife around such as ram horn sheep 🐑, mountain goats 🐐, chipmunks, etc.

We got there at 6:30am and the parking lot was half full. We got maybe 15 minutes into our hike heading towards Hidden Lake and looked back and it was a sea of cars and the parking lot was full. So glad we went early. You see more of the wild life coming down the mountain and the sun peaking over . You can't hike the whole trail at this time due to it closing. The fish are spawning and the bears are in that area. You do make it to the over look. This is an easy hike to do. The fist little bit is up but after that it mellows out to the overlook. Make sure you have proper shoes for there is still packed snow in places and you will slide. Smooth sole shoes are not recommended!!

This park is beautiful! Definitely a bucket list item! Just do it! And carry bear spray everywhere. We hiked around 30 miles in 4 hikes. Still have another 670 miles to go. Not sure I'll finish but i will be back.

Crowded as hell, especially on holidays. But holy cow, for casual and serious hikers alike, well worth it. Get to the park butt-early if you can, and if you can't, come back around 5:00pm and be ready to wait. Even on a cloudy day, Hidden Lake Overlook is beautiful.

This hike took me out of my comfort zone...we hiked to the lookout and there was a part that was a bit sketchy for me. Grabbing a few rocks and not looking down, one foot in front of the other...it was totally worth it! Lots of the hike was through snow and it was a bit slick, but wow....you just can't experience this just anywhere. I loved the views, the fresh air and the reality that I was hiking through snow in a tank top and shorts and getting sunburnt. It's the best! A must do!

We visited Logan Pass several times during our family (my husband 2 teens, and myself) trip to Glacier. The parking lot does tend to be very crowded, so if possible ride the park buses to Logan Pass. The flora and fauna at the pass are spectacular and plentiful. We hiked to Hidden Lake, which is really lovely. The Highline Trail also begins in the Logan Pass area - it has spectacular views but is moderately difficult. There are a number of other trails and several short nature trails which leave from Logan Pass in addition to a number of ranger led activities which meet at the pass.

My favorite location on the Going to the Sun Road. Exceptional views from every angle. Access to Highline Trail, which was a bit if a nail biter if you don't like heights.

Just breathtaking. We walked here because the GTSR was closed due to late spring snows and avalanches.

Logan Pass was one of the highlights of our vacation. So beautiful. Arrive early to avoid the crowds and limited parking. Must get out of car and walk to enjoy the beauty. We saw sheep and ground squirrels. The air is so fresh and clean. Everything is pristine and unspoiled. The views and beauty is just amazing. Snow capped mountains and beautiful wild flowers. Nature at its best. Pictures do not do justice. Clean restrooms and a nice gift shop. Take snacks and drinks as nothing is available in the park. Must do attraction. Not to be missed.

A wonderful spot to have a snack and hike. The bathrooms, though clean and efficient, only provided hand sanitizer, not water. Would like real soap! The parking lot was not completely full till way past 8:30 in June.

The area of Logan Pass is gorgeous! The visitors center has restrooms, but no food service. Many hikes begin here, though some are closed due to the fire still burning. The drive from St. Mary to Logan Pass is beautiful, but the other half of the Going-to-the-Sun Road is still closed to private vehicles.

We had to wait a bit driving around for a parking spot. This is a very popular location and very crowded. The visitor center was extremely crowded. I went into the store and could hardly move around due to all the people. It was not a very big building inside. I made a purchase and was told they do not offer bags. I guess this is environmentally friendly, but not convenient. There are two sets of bathrooms. There is a bottle filler for filling water bottles.

We did the hike to Hidden Lake Overlook. It is open and exposed. A large portion is on a boardwalk. It is a well-defined path. There were lots of people doing this hike. There are many steps though they are broken up into a few at a time. The hike to the overlook is an uphill climb. It is not steep, but we were frequently out of breath. It was tougher than we expected. We had to take breaks along the way. Once we made it to the overlook the views were amazing. We saw some mountain goats and big horn sheep. It was once again very crowded at the overlook. Not many people were hiking all the way to the lake. You could see the path and it was quite steep. On the way back to the parking lot the hike down was jarring on the knees. The steps were a bit too tall and it was rough going down the trail. Several people near us were commenting on the same experience. But, it was definitely worth the hike for the amazing views.

Opened on our last day in GNP! Very cool views, wish we could’ve done the high line trail, lots of snow, saw a mountain goat on the railing by the visitors center.

This is the starting point for 2 spectacular hikes, so you must get here early or parking will be an issue. We arrived at 7 a.m. and the parking lot was already full. We ended up parking about a mile downhill and walking up to Logan Pass. Be sure to hike behind the visitor center to see longhorn sheep, bear, and goats. Don't miss it!

My wife and I decided to go to GNP about a year ago. I booked the Hampton Inn in Whitefish ( a smart move) after we had to cancel The Many Hotel two years ago. What a blessing in disguise, The Many Hotel is an isolated Hotel on the East Entrance to the Park. Being here, now, we went on a ride to the hotel and when we got to the entrance it’s approximately a 3 mile drive on a road that is a disaster. We also found out that the road will be under a year long repair, that came from the Park Ranger. Plus, there’s nothing close to the hotel, so you are basically stuck there.
At Whitefish you have downtown Whitefish with all it’s amenities and you’ll be going to the park at the West Entrance which is more desirable. The drive to the entrance is about 40 minutes and the drive up to Logan Pass is another 30 miles. The drive is a bit nerve racking but we did it 3 times and survived. GO EARLY, the parking lot gets filled up quickly.
We did a six day vacation, if I had to do it again I’d have done it in four days.
The sights are magnificent and it’s well worth going for that once in a lifetime experience. Enjoy....

Easy drive to the top of the mountains where you can see mountains galore, plants, animals and beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Plenty of pullouts for photographic opportunities.

Logan's Pass sits on the dividing point for the US--The Continental Divide. Although it is one of the highpoints in the park at 6,700 feet, it is significantly less elevated than many of Colorado's peaks which reach over 14,000! Nevertheless, the views from here are spectacular and a must see when visiting Glacier. Unfortunately, the parking lot at the visitor's center was more than full with cars, and tour buses blocking entrance.We moved further up the road and were able to pull in to several overlooks which had space available and more wonderful vantage points.

My husband, a friend and I went to the Logan Pass visitor’s center and hiked the Hidden Lake trail. The views from Logan’s Pass are awesome. The small parking lot was full at 1 pm. Many vehicles (including us) kept driving in the parking lot until we found a parking spot. That took about 10 minutes. There are nice restrooms and some port-a-potties. There was not much in the visitor’s center but the rangers were helpful. On the Hidden Lake trail, we saw a couple Bighorn sheep, a herd of white Mountain sheep, awesome views, a lake, ponds, waterfall, glaciers and lots of wildflowers.

Get here early as the parking lot fills up with cars of people heading out to hike. The area is beautiful! Try the Hidden Lake Trail. The path is good but you will be climbing at elevation so dress appropriately, bring water and bear spray and stop to catch your breath and take a good look at the beautiful view. The view at hidden lake is worth it.

The only part of it we saw was weaving up and down the aisles of the parking lot. We tried when we entered the park from the east side and again when we exited.

We got lucky and got a parking place quickly around 11 am. The lot was full but people were leaving too. They have a shop and a couple of trails. The mountain pass itself is great and the area a bit crowded for being a Friday just off season.

We drove up from Whitefish, arriving mid morning to Logan's Pass, Going to the Sun Road is a gorgeous drive. Morning is definitely the time to visit as it gets very busy later in the day. A couple of things to know before you go; have plenty of gas before entering the park, Going to the Sun is a steep road with drop offs, take it slow and easy. Although I'm not prone to being carsick, it's a twisting, winding road. There are scenic overlooks and we would have loved to pull off the road but even early in the morning, there was no parking available. It was crowded in July. Once we arrived at Logan's Pass, we had to circle around for awhile before we found someone leaving so we could park. There are lots of steps from the parking lot up to the Visitors Center. Once there, only a few benches to sit. The Visitors Center sells no water or snacks so come prepared, I wish I had known that in advance. I assumed they would have those available, not just gift items. Also wish we had known there is no cell service at all at Logan's Pass. I saw some groups with walkie talkies so they could communicate with others in their group. Yet another thing I wish I had known. The bathrooms at the Visitors Center have no mirrors and no sinks, just hand sanitizer. Although it was July, there was still enough snow on the hike behind the Visitors Center to make snow angels and hike through the snow. As we drove back down Going to the Sun Road, we stopped, parked and walked the Trail of the Cedars, an easy loop trail with pretty trees. I wish we had been able to walk more of the trails but, as I mentioned, parking is a definite issue. Driving Going to the Sun is a must if you are visiting Montana.

Parking at the Logan Pass Visitor Center was one thing I worried about when planning our trip to Glacier National Park. The day we went however it was raining and there was very little visibility so parking was no problem. We spent some time in the visitor center and then did the Hidden Lake Overlook. At times it was completely covered in clouds but then it would part and you could take in the great views. Our kids initially didn’t want to do the hike but they ended up loving it. We saw deer, mountain goats and marmots and enjoyed seeing snow in July. We did not have time for the Highline Trail and you couldn’t see anything anyway. Returning here is definitely on the bucket list.

We got to the parking lot at 6:30 a.m. on a Wednesday morning and it started getting crowded more around 7:30 a.m. They have clean restrooms, gift shop and plenty of staff there to help you. Plenty of trails to adventure around on from here.

Enjoyed our time at Logan Pass. Hiked the trail to Hidden Lake. Grandkids loved seeing the mountain goats. Parking was extremely hard to find... be patient waiting for a spot.

Logan Pass is a visitor center, which has the two best hikes on Going to the Sun Road. We tried 2 times to park here, it's always packed, about 100-150 parking spots. People even park above or below the location -- and walk up the road, just so they can hike the 2 trails. So we got up at 3am, so we could park here and hike both trails at Logan Pass. We arrived at 4:30am; it started raining/snow/sleet/foggy, we started hiking at 6am and had a great day all together.... beautiful scenery

Go early or later afternoon to find parking and avoid crowds. Take the RED BUS TOUR, but make advance reservations. This site supposedly offers mountain goat and big horn sheep viewing but we saw none on two separate days.

Great place, but parking is horrible! Views are breath-taking, and just wonderful. If you are lucky, you will see some wild animals. We visited the first weekend in July 2019, and then the first weekend in August 2019. We learned from the first visit in July that we should drive to St. Mary's Village, check in to our Lodge, unpack, roam the premises, and then head back up the Going-to-the-Sun at around 4pm. By the time we reached Logan Pass, parking was much better. We did this on our second visit in August as well and we had no issues finding parking. We also noticed that wildlife shows up later in the day. Who can blame them! :).

Around an hour of driving on a winding “Road to the Sun” from either Apgar or St Mary to Logan Pass brings you to the area of the continental divide and a spectacular view of the surrounding peaks and valleys. There are days that Logan Pass is in or above the clouds but the best viewing days, in my opinion, are those blue sky days that are crystal clear. For those considering the drive up to the pass, early morning is the best time to do so. There is far less traffic in the early morning, there will be parking available once you arrive and the morning light can be stunning for photographers. There are numerous places along the road to pull aside and take in the views. If you visit the park Logan Pass is a must do.

We trolled the parking 2 different times before finding a parking spot. Was going to hike to hiding lake but a storm was moving in. Plus the trail was still snow covered and my daughter had tennis shoes on and with the snow she would take one step up and slid back down. If it wasn't already 6 pm and a storm wasn't coming in we would of still tried the hike.

The parking for this pass is limited, so be patient. The walk into the glacier area is easy and brings magnificent views.

Go Early - 7 am

Or prepare to circle for a while

Hidden Lake trail is beautiful beyond description. Handicap accessible.

The Highline Trail was awesome. Don’t stop before the steep switchback. At the top is a beautiful view of the Grinnel lake and glaciers. We stopped at the switchback.

No signs to tell you the best is just a short distance away.

Narrow trail. Wife tripped on trail. Keep Eyes on path.

Two essential hikes from here, the Hidden Lake where you walk across glaciers and as such get close to glaciers and Highline Trail is from here. Don’t miss either! You have to get there early or the parking lot gets full. You can use a park shuttle. There are bathrooms with running water and a large ranger station and souvenir store.

Go early!!!! Parking lot fills up fast. We got there at 6.30am there was only like for parking spots open. Use restroom before you get there,lines there is long,lots of people. Hike is not bad not to dificult,in mid July we had still lots of snow,use caution.Get mosquito net or spray its the only place where mosquitos trying to eat you alive.Wild animals,goats roaming free.To bad at that time trail to hidden lake was close due to bear activity in the area.Do not ignore signs about bears. Lady with family ignored it and went to the lake got atact by a bear. Since you parked at logan pass do high line trail worth a few miles in for breath taking viws of the park. High line trail is 11 miles. If you have 2 cars its worth doing all 11.
Have fun be safe. Allways cary bear spray with you.
If you land or visit Kallispel get your bear spray at walmart its only $29 in the park and stores around park its $49 to$59.
When you done donate your bear spray to one of the rangers as air lines will not permit those on the flight even in the checked in bagage.

I would suggest that you arrive here early in the morning with regards to parking. We visited in the off season and by the time we actually got back to our car there were wars in the parking lot of spots. This was the most crowded of the hikes that we did while in Glacier. The hike itself is beautiful. A lot of this hike is a more structured boardwalk and there are some steep steps. We didn't actually see a lot of wildlife on the hike, we were able to see some Pika's on the red rocks and saw a grizzly and her cub when we got back down .. she was actually near the visitors center. Definitely bring binoculars for some of the views. The view at the end is quite the reward for the hike. Again, it was one of the more crowded hikes we did but the scenery and views are worth it.

We came into Glacier National Park from the east because the west entrance of Going To the Sun Road was closed due to fires. So I can only say the drive from the East entrance was beautiful and the views are spectacular! We arrived at Logan’s Pass and it’s beautiful! There’s a hike that you can take when you get there. The gift store is off grid...I thought that was pretty cool! No flushing toilets but the outhouses were spotless.

We stopped in the center after our hike to Hidden Lake Overlook. We enjoyed seeing the exhibits and finding out more information about the wildlife.

Driving up to Logan Pass is an amazing experience. The scenery is stunning. On the day we were there a mountain goat was right behind the Visitor’s Center basking in the sun while resting on a pile of snow. Quite the sight. The ground squirrels were running around. So cute. We looked up onto the mountains and saw bighorn sheep. Keep driving around a bit and someone will leave so you can park and have a bathroom break.

I think this was the most beautiful spot that our tour bus stopped at. There are trails behind the Visitors Center that lead one into some beautiful views of the mountains. I only wish I had more time here. I gave my camera a workout!

Logan Pass was getting prepared for winter when I stopped there in late September 2017. Locater poles were in place around the Visitor Center, and snow covered the ground. The west section of Going-To-The-Sun Road was closed because of fires, and maybe a dozen vehicles were in the parking lot.

Late day lighting creates some interesting viewing at Logan Pass, and along Going-To-The-Sun Road. If you didn’t get a chance to stamp your Park Passport book, and if you are going back through West Glacier, try stopping at the Glacier Park Conservancy bookstore in the Belton Train Station. When I was there in late 2017, they had stampers for many of the Ranger Stations and Visitor Center locations in Glacier Park - including Logan Pass.

Information on the stargazing programs at Logan Pass is normally listed in the summer monthly Park Service ranger-led pdf brochures, also by inquiring at the St. Mary or Apgar Visitor Centers. There are some interesting archived photos that you can view by doing an internet search for the 1933 Going-To-The-Sun Road dedication ceremony that was held at Logan Pass. Thanks for taking the time to read my review.

Thought visitor center would be larger, along with parking lot, but the big attraction of this area is the fact that great trail heads start at this location. Take the time to walk up a trail to leave the crowds behind and improve the vista no matter where you turn your head.....and this was on a cold and cloudy/smokey day!

The ride to logans pass was ok for what you could see. The smoke was bad the trip was basically a waste of time and gas. The idea of going to these places is to see different things and with the fires you couldn't see much and it was hard to breath. If you go there do it when there are no fires.

Worth a visit but be prepared for crowds even at 7am. We should have stopped on our way up. It took us forever to find a parking spot by 10am.

If you're driving the going to the sun road, be sure to stop here. You'll likely see some wildlife, there's a cute giftshop, and it's fun to see snow even in the height of summer. Worth the stop!

We got lucky and found a parking place in the early afternoon, but it took a few minutes.

Park Rangers are there to answer questions and make suggestions, but the building is closed because of Covid.

There are a lot of very informative signs and posters to let you know what you are seeing.

The restrooms are still open.

There is a relatively easy trail to the Hidden Lake Overlook.

Logan Pass seems like you’re on top of the world. Views are amazing and can be crazy in a cloud and fog. The drive up is breathtaking. There is a visitors center and trailheads located at the pass as well. This area usually has quite a bit of wildlife activity as well.

Be sure to take the pass from the west entrance, it is simply breathtaking. Highly recommend taking the shuttle if they are available, you will enjoy it more. The road is very narrow! If you are going to the top in the middle of September, make sure you have a winter coat and gloves, the weather can change in a moments notice.

Logan's Pass is so pretty. There is so much wildlife to enjoy here. Big Horn Sheep, Mountain Goats, Wolverine's, Elk and even Pika's (which I'd never heard of). On top of that the Floral & Fauna here are SUPERB! Beautiful wild flowers, berries, grasslands, rock formations. This is a REALLY wonderful place to visit. Parking is difficult. We kept going round & round until we got lucky and someone was leaving. They closed the park right after we left b/c there was a bear sighting much too close to their liking.

Logan Pass is along the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, and is among the most stunning roads in the entire country. This point allows cars to park, is ok for those in wheelchairs, and should not be missed when visiting this fantastic park. From the wild flowers, to viewing the mountains, this is an incredibly beautiful place!

Get t here early to get parking because it is a crap show later. But once you get out on the trail, which is unique because it runs fairly level across the ridges, the views are spectacular, down into valleys and sun shining on slopes above the bear grass. You can hike the whole trail (10+ mile) and then take a shuttle back to the lot or go some ways in and return to your car.

Even saw bear turd too, the peaks were amazing to behold.

We were REALLY hoping to see the long horn sheep or mountain goats, but no luck. We came several different times hoping to catch a peek :/ However, I understand that they're wild animals and totally unpredictable, so no harm done. It was still majestic to see!

Our family of six traveled to Glacier National Park in July, 2018. The hike at Logan Pass over to Hidden Lake was our favorite hike. (Just make sure you get there by 8:00 am in order to get parking). Otherwise, you will drive around waiting for people to leave so you can get a spot). We saw big horn sheep, squirrels, and whory marmots along the hike. You definately want to have good hiking shoes and poles would be very helpful. Part of the hike included snow-covered ground in the middle of July. Once you get to the Hidden Lake, you can get some amazing pictures of this beautiful treasure!

What a nice place! And great information that they give you in their information desk! Cute little gift store! Can be a bit windy and chilly depending on the weather so dress accordingly!

We enjoyed driving up to Logan Pass, going thru the visitor center and then hiking on the trail to Hidden Lake Overlook and slightly beyond it. The views were nice here and we were fortunate to see a marmot along the trail and up the trail we saw five male big horn sheep.....what a thrill...they did Pass a bit too close to us on their trip up the mountain....

This location frequently has long horned sheep in the parking lot or close by. But you got to get there early to get a parking spot. Later in the day it's impossibly crowded (and the cause of my average rating).

Summer is high season and shoulder can be dicey due to high elevation weather changes.

Be patient, and you can probably enjoy it.

beautiful drive with such lovely scenery. Crowded parking lot but keep circling and you'll find a spot. Visitor center and gift shop on site,

Beautiful part of Going-To-The-Sun Road with two trail heads (Hidden Lake, Highline Trail) leaving from the visitor's center. If you want to find a parking spot, you need to get there before 8am!

Nice stop, clean bathrooms, and informative displays. The hike to Hidden Lake was fun and beautiful. There are lots of mountain goats in this area.

If you are stopping here in day time to park, hike or look it will be busy. Try going late. Evening. Watch the sun set. Even twice if you plan it right with the mountains. See animals passing thru. The long horn sheep and mountain goats seem to favor this location in evenings. Parking not a problem.

WARNING: Arrive early. The parking lot is very small for the number of visitors that come here. There is no queuing system so it's a bit of a free-for-all to get a parking spot. We were there at 7:30 AM and just barely squeezed into a spot.

I can't tell you anything about the Highline trail as we did the Hidden Lake trail. It's about 6 miles round trip if you go to the bottom. However, you can make it halfway in to the overlook without it being too strenuous. When we went, the ground was still covered in snow so it made the pass more difficult and exhausting than it should have been. Highly recommend taking hiking poles and wearing appropriate boots.

It's beautiful the whole way. We ran into a number of marmots and goats. Totally recommend planning a visit here.

Wonderful must stop when driving Going to Sun Road. Be prepared for snow if hiking the area in June. We saw people carrying snowboards and skis in. Beautiful short trails and panoramas. Unfortunately, visitor center not open until 9 am.

We got here at 7 am the first week of August and there were still several spots left. My kids didn’t want to wake up early again so we took the shuttle the next day, which was easy. The scenery at Logan Pass is stunning, the best at the park. It is almost guaranteed wild life viewing, too. Mountain goats and big horned sheep seem to be there all the time.

There is so much that GNP offers, I would not kill yourself trying to find parking or getting out the door at 5AM unless you are a hiker. We battled for a spot and finally got one after circling for 30 minutes. A little bit of a let down. There is much, much more to see in the park.

It is one of the best stops on the Road to the Sun . limited parking so plan to reach there early or later in the day . There are washrooms here . you can do a short hikes around this point .

It was super busy but fun. We hiked to hidden lake and saw four mountain goats. It was freezing so bring plenty of warm clothes.

We got to Glacier on the day it opened and we heard stories that Logan Pass parking is tough to come by.We got there at 2PM and the parking lot was only1/3 full! There was a lot of snow and some trails were still closed . The info center has some very good info on the park!

This was a very busy place. Lots of people park and then go hiking. You have to get there early if you plan to park. Otherwise take the free shuttle. Just be prepared to wait because the shuttles fill up fast.

I will say this is the 1st place you should go...like get up at 0430 and drive into the park skipping everything else on the Going to the Sun Road. The parking lot is pretty big, but it fills up fast. We saw a lot of Bighorn sheep when we arrived, and on the hike to Hidden Lake (we could only go so far as there were active bear sightings in the area of the lake). We didn't go into the gift shop/visitor's center...but it looked nice from the outside. Lots of little marmots running around the meadow above the parking lot...and if you get there at the right time you'll see fields of flowers and hike through some snow too. One tip the locals gave that we didn't do because of time was to be at Logan Pass at night...sundown to late...counting stars and seeing wildlife.

We were really fortunate to get a parking space after driving around the parking lot a few times, not arriving until early afternoon. The visitor center has (as most do) a small gift shop, informative displays, it is very clean and the building itself fits well with the location. Just out the back is a well built boardwalk that seems to go on forever. There were plenty of people walking it and it does slowly climb uphill so you could find yourself slowing down and perhaps a bit winded, but don't let that stop you-the views are extraordinary.

The visitors center provided helpful information and welcome restrooms. Easy walking paths around this area provided views of the surrounding mountains. I wish we had seen the wildlife others reported!

We got here at 630a and barely got a spot. The lot was full at 648a. The hike was good but not that good. I’d rather hike less busy areas and not stress about parking.

As everywhere else in Glacier.. It was a gorgeous stop. VERY BUSY ( Mid day). There was little food options but a nice gift shop and piles of snow. The kids were sledding and there was wildlife everywhere. If we had more time we would have hiked to hidden lake. We wanted to see the goats.. We had my 80 year old father in law and there wasn't really anywhere comfy to leave him so we opted not to hike it. We will be back. Bring food and your camera and dress comfortable. Although it was summer there was snow which thrilled our 10 year old.

A must do attraction in GNP. We hiked a portion of Highline trail and also the Hidden Lake overlook trail. We were there in early Sept on a Friday. We got up very early, arrived at Logan Pass at 7:15am, and the lot was already full! We headed westbound 1/2 mile and parked at a pull off. It only holds about 10 cars, so I'm sure it filled up shortly after we parked.

Although the lot was full, the trail was not very crowded in the morning and both hikes were beautiful. Highly recommend.

There are several hikes starting from Logan. The parking lot is impossible - park at a shuttle stop and ride throughout the park. We hiked to Hidden Lake - had to stop several times to catch our breath (we're flatlanders!).

We biked 🚲 up to Logan Pass from Avalanche during the COVID19 pandemic, where motorized vehicles were not allowed. Seeing LP with the parking lot empty was surreal in a good way. The day was beautiful, not a cloud in the sky and the views were spectacular. A light chill in the air with an intense sun (and dry climate) made our adventure the best visit ever to GNP.

One of the best National parks in the USA. Amazing drive to the LOgan pass with river/lake on the side where ppl were kayaking on their own. Nice trails along the drive, You can spot bears easily. Lot of mountain goats. Lots of beautiful flowers. Carry your boniculars to spot grizzlies. Keep a bear spray. You will also find snow at the trail. There is a small lake a the top of logan pass. Its a kid friendly hike. I hiked with 8 and 6yrs old. The parking is tight so you might not find spot easily and park on the road side and walk to the trails. Public restrooms are clean. Lot of park rangers everywhere to help and guide. Its a crowded National Park so please carry your masks and your own Water bottles on the hikes. Not all trails at the Glacier Park are kid friendly so read the map before you go on hikes. There are two entrances- West and East,right before you head to the entrace there is a small strip mall area where you can pick up food and water. There are no food options inside the park. Also there is no cell phone signal inside the park. A 7 day pass is the most economic way to go for $35.

Glacier National Park is beautiful. Be sure to experience both the East and West sides! The campgrounds in the park are touch to get into, but there are ample options near all entrances.

You should go here, it’s beautiful. At the very least get out and walk around the visitors center and if your feeling more adventurous then take the trail to Hidden Lake. The weather of course can always be quite different up there so bring some layers. It can be very windy also. It was 71 degrees Fahrenheit at the bottom and 50 with sleet at the top.

Arrived around 530pm and found a parking spot. Was blustery as we got hiking and a lot of people but not as bad as earlier. We saw mountain goat with her kid, pikas, big horn rams (as we drove out), and more smaller birds, talkative squirrels and even ...

Another one of those scenic places you simply must see! The altitude and magnitude of this place is amazing. Another must see while you are in the Glacier National Park! :{)

But get here by 6:30am or the ridiculously tiny parking lot is full. Worth the early rise though. Hidden Lake hike is breathtaking! Stunning glacier vistas, snow, wildflowers, wildlife. Highlight of our trip to Glacier.

We were in the park during wildfires on the west side, so this was as far as we could go on Going-to-the-Sun Road. It’s at the Continental Divide, so the trails that start here have beautiful alpine scenery and wildlife. Be aware that the Hidden Lake Overlook trail, while “easy” in the sense that it’s not overly rocky and has a boardwalk in places, is a fairly steep incline. The Highline Trail has some narrow places with sheer drops. But on both we had spectacular views and saw mountain goats and bighorn sheep. The visitor center is small but well done, and efficiently accommodated the crowds.

Our journey up the Going to the Sun Road was limited to Logan Pass from St Mary's due to the fire on the west side (which closed the road west of Logan).

With a cloudy day and still some smoke in the air we didn't have to leave at the crack of dawn - there was plenty of parking in the Logan Pass visitor's center lot.

Spent some time walking around the easy trails and in the visitor's center. Folks there were very helpful including finding some tools to fix my camera.

If they were to re-shoot the film, this place would be a great place to do it!

This was the 2nd visit we had to here. Every review you'll read will tell you to get there as early as possible. I got to the parking lot on a Saturday at 8:30AM and it was jam packed. I dropped off the family and then drove a half mile down towards West Glacier and parked in an opening that fit about 4 cars. There is parking around the outlook about .2 miles below the main parking lot there but I could tell the last space was taken well before I got there. So parking in the main lot is pretty bad, lots of road rage and people fighting over spaces. There are shuttles from the Avalanche Lake lot that goes here, but the lines for them are pretty long. FYI, to get there from Apgar Village, you need to take 1 shuttle to the Avalanche Lake lot and then a different shuttle to Logan's Pass.

Logan Pass is a starting point for a few hikes. The most notable 2 are the hike down to Hidden Lake and the Highline Trail. The scary cliff for the Highline Trail is just .4 miles away. So if you want to just hike that part, it's easy to do from Logan Pass. We ended up doing the trail to Hidden Lake. It's a 4.9 mile RT hike to the lake and back. There's a good amount of slope, first going up, then down to the lake, and then back. Our 11, 9 and 5 year old sons made the hike just fine though.

On the hike, we saw lot of white mountain goats, rams, a marmot, and plenty of chipmunks and squirrels. The first time we came in April, there was A LOT of wild flowers, but in August, most of the flowers are gone by then.

If you visit Glacier, this place is a must visit. Just plan early on how you want to get there.

Park, get out of the car and keep walking. Wild flowers, ground squirrels, bighorn sheep, mountain goats and indescribable beauty as far as eye can see. Some trails are closed, but there are plenty opportunities for exploring.

This is a breathtaking area! We were there one day in the clouds and one in the sun and both took my breath away!

It was cold an windy here at the continental divide. The gift shop does not sell and snacks or soft drinks, only bottled water. This is wild country and there are safe trails and dangerous trails. A woman hiker fell to her death last week.

There are many trails to launch into from Logan’s Pass and there are varying challenges for everyone. I recommend that if you are going here to arrive no later than 8:30 AM to secure a parking spot. We arrived one day at 9:45 and it was full so we returned the next day at 8:15 and found a spot.

We absolutely loved our visit-quite snowy in late July, but the road was open and it was beautiful! Visitor center was open, clean bathrooms and nice boardwalk heading out to Hidden Lake. We should have brought poles with us, but other than that, it was very enjoyable.

Lovely little visitor centre , fun little hike , lots of nature and beautiful spots for picnics ! Worth going there and stopping , don’t drive by because full parking lot . People leave all the time and the view is well worth it .

At 6,640 feet, Logan Pass marks the high point of Going-to-the-Sun Road and the highest elevation in the park you can reach by car.

The pass offers beautiful views of Reynolds Mountain and Clements Mountain. Wildflowers carpet the ground in the summer once the snow is gone … but be prepared for cool temperatures even in the summer. On the Big Red Bus tour we need a light jacket even in August … open top with chilly wind. Weather at Logan Pass was calm, sunny and quite comfortable.

Be sure to keep your eyes open for wildlife. Mountain goats and bighorn sheep are often spotted in this area. You might even see a grizzly bear. We came back by car the second day and I set up my camera to capture images in the early evening to take advantage of the beautiful light and the increased chance of spotting wildlife. Alas, no wildlife photos for me but some great scenic views.

The pass is the starting point for several popular hikes, including the Hidden Lake Overlook. The trail, located behind the visitor's center, is less than 3 miles round-trip and offers a beautiful view of a lake below in the valley. For more adventurous hikers, Logan Pass is also the start for the popular Highline Trail, which takes you above Going-to-the-Sun Road and to the Loop, where you can take a shuttle back to the pass. We are in our late 70’s so hiking is not an option for us … those I spoke to about the hikes were very pleased with the decision to hike and then return by shuttle.

The pass, along with the visitor center, is one of the most popular places in the park, and the parking lot is often full by 11 a.m. We took a Big Red Bus but there you an take one of the park's free shuttles to the pass. We did return late the next day and the parking was available.

Short hike was nice and got stamped the the center. All as good from the flat spot on the top. We enjoyed a ten minute stop to see the last of the snow.

You never know what yo expect regarding the weather up at the top!! So, be prepared with warm hat, gloves, etc. We were there two days in a row, different each day!! Take time to hike out to Hidden Lake, if you can... or at least do a portion of the hike. Beautiful. Take some time while you’re up there to soak in the beauty and the awe-someness of where you are when at the Pass.

The drive up the Sun Road to Logan's Pass is spectacular. So much to see and several places to stop to take in the views. The visitor center here was a nightmare though. My husband never did get a parking spot, continuous line of cars going around the parking lot.

Yep, parking was easier than expected. Each day the lot showed full but we never waited more than a few minutes both times we pulled in for a hike, or bathroom break.
Rangers in all locations were just fantastic

Even though it was foggy at the top, views still amazing. Road To The Sun was closed from Logan Pass to Avelanche Creek. We saw the west side one day and the east side the next two days. Over 700 miles of hiking trails. There are some that are very short making easy walk. I did one to Hidden Lake overlook. 1.5 miles. Great exercise and even greater view of the lake.

One of the most amazing driving roads Driving into the sun. If you can do this trip on a motorcycle or a convertible. the level of excitement is over the top. Nature at its best.
Plan on spending 8 hours or more if you want to take in all the sites with a few hikes and stops along the way. We entered from The West side of the park drove all the way to the east entrance then the south side back. Leave early so you can see everything. it;s a trip you will always talk about

It’s something to see if one has never been here, but the tour buses and crowds make it unpleasant. We did get to see mountain goats and did the hike to the hidden lake overlook. The alpine flowers were in bloom and they were nice.

Make the trip up here, it is worth the drive up here. You can find a few nice trails up here. You will see wildlife up her like mountain goats. They come right up to you.

Beautiful! So much to see! Gorgeous valley with views and bears, but bring your jackets, it gets really cold up there! Parking is a bit of a hassle, so go early!

We heard how the parking at Logan Pass is often full, and despite getting up there by mid morning, it was already full, but we were able to park just down the road a little and walk up. The morning had been cloudy, but while we were up there the clouds started to thin and move out and the views were great. We walked along the first part of the Highline Trail, which was a little hair raising, but fabulous! The mountain flowers in the meadows up there were very pretty.

This hike has it all. Good trail, too well used but well maintained. Any direction you look you have wonderful views of mountains, wild flowers and often wild life. In August everything seemed in bloom, especially the bear grass flower. The water was still flowing in small streams and ponds. The overlook to Hidden Lake was spectacular with marmots, ground squirrels and mountain goats all here. Did see herd of big horn sheep on way back but in trees off trail. The visitor center is great and good gift shop for your pleasure. You have to have patience to wait for a parking space. We probably cruise for about 15 minutes to follow someone back to their car to get a space. Water and flush toilets available. I would say this is a must stop and hike while in Glacier.

We got to Logan’s Pass about 6:30 am and the lot was already filling up. It is a beautiful stop on the going to the sun road. We did a short hike and when we got back to parking lot it was packed! We had to ask people to back up just to be able to exit our parking spot. If you go, I would suggest very early or late in evening

We took this beautiful hike early in the morning (we got to the park at 5:30am to watch a sunrise over Lake McDonald) so there was plenty of parking. It is a gorgeous hike with mountain flowers, a beautiful lake and plenty of wildlife - we saw mountain goats, rams and marmots. But beware - a large part of the trail is covered in snow so bring hiking boots and/or snow sticks as otherwise it can be quite slippery.

We stopped at Logan Pass twice and drove through four times on the Going to the Sun Road during our visit to Glacier National Park. Logan Pass was definitely a highlight. It was literally pouring on our first day and we drove from the West Entrance around the park to the sunny East side. The plan worked until we returned through Logan Pass. The clouds descended and we crossed in the soup with very poor visibility. The views were awesome when we crossed the next day to hike to St. Mary’s and Virginia Falls.

So cool to see the summit of the Continental Divide and snow on the ground, but be wearing shorts and a tshirt! A definite must visit within the park!

Traveler pro tip - GET HERE EARLY or you will have extreme difficulty finding a place to park! Trust me. Get into the park and beeline it to this parking lot. If you come late you will have to park up to 1/2 mile away to get back to the visitor station. Then do the Hidden Lake hike (really a great one). Then check out the gift shop.

The drive on Going to the Sun Road to Logan's Pass is one of the best drives I have ever taken. Once you get to Logan's Pass there are restrooms with a visitor center. You can hike to Hidden Lake or start the Highline trail. There was enough parking, even on Labor Day Weekend.

This was a nice area to stop, it was very busy and hard to find a parking spot on the Going to the Sun Road.

Logan pass is beautiful! That being said, it is very narrow, steep drop offs, rock overhangs, strict vehicle size restrictions. I would never drive it... take the Red Tour Bus!

Bring head lamp if you plan to stargaze. I didn't see any lights outside the bathroom and I surprised a Big Horn:) It was a tad chilly, but cold doesn't bother me since I'm from New England. It's hard to find parking after 8:30-9 am so come early.

We spent 3 hours at Logan's Pass, doing the Trail to Hidden Lake. It was 2.6 km return hike. Reaching the end point of the hike we were greeted with magnificent views of Hidden Lake with breathtaking mountain views that were nestled amongst the low lying clouds. We were literally...Above The Clouds!!

This is one of the most popular locations in the park that everyone wants to visit, which is understandable since the scenery is breath-taking. It's located near the middle of Going to the Sun Road, at its highest elevation point (6646'). There's a fairly large parking area, and the shuttle and Red Bus Tours stop here. The visitor center has an information desk, restrooms, and a souvenir shop. The Hidden Lake Trail and the Highline Trail depart from here, so the parking area fills up quickly in the morning with cars left by people who have set off to hike and are likely to be gone for hours, not minutes. When we visited in early July, the parking lot was full at 9:30 and cars were circling waiting for a spot. Vehicles were also parked all along the roadside. The visitor center was very crowded; there were queues for the restroom, ranger information desk, and gift shop cashier. A steady stream of hikers were headed out on the Hidden Lake Trail. For visitors who use wheelchairs, there isn't a lot to do here. Paved sidewalks and a long winding ramp lead to the visitor center. Walkways in the area immediately surrounding the visitor center allow one to access panoramic views of the surrounding alpine landscape, and I enjoyed watching the ground squirrels scurry about. The beginning part of the Hidden Lake Trail might be passable for wheelchairs, but when we visited it was still covered with snow. For us it was mainly a rest stop; there were so many people that we didn't care to linger.

A great spot for picture taking. Plenty of parking, but it does get crowded. A good spot to stop for a break.

It was beautiful scenery over Logan pass. We arrived at 9:00 am but it was already so crowded you couldnt even find a parking space at all the pull outs makeing it less enjoyable. You should go there very early in the morning. We traveled 2000 miles to see it then couldnt enjoy it because it was so crowed.

I like my national parks wild, beautiful and with a sprinkle of people. You’ll get the first two here but the third...oh my. There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of people cramming into a busy parking lot and scrambling up the boardwalk hidden lake trail for a step in snow and a view of distant bears and not so distant long horn sheep. It looks an awful lot like the old historic photos of gold miners climbing over Dawson pass in Alaska. We are traveling with a family that doesn’t mind this type of thing but I’d opt for a less populated trail any day. But the views are unbeatable.

We really liked Logan Pass. The visitor center has some hands-on things to touch for the kids. A nice little gift shop. No food, although they had some gift snacks in the shop.

At Logan Pass, you can walk a couple different trails. We decided to go on the Hidden Lake Overlook hike. The first half is a boardwalk. This makes it easier, but it also has elevation change and lots of steps too. So give yourself time, especially considering this is probably this highest elevation you will be hiking unless you do the mega hikes. Take enough water. Too many people had no water, or those little plastic bottles. Your kids will be miserable if they don't have enough to drink, or are wearing sandals, flip flops, or water shoes.

The last part of the hike is packed gravel. There is a little circular outlook area to take pictures of the beautiful Hidden Lake. Truly beautiful. We ate our lunch overlooking the area. Note that there are VERY acclimated and are known to actually crawl into open backpacks to look for food. Turn your back on the with food in your lap, and you may find them in your lap. They will bite.

The hike continues down to the lake itself. We plan to go back one day and spend the whole afternoon in that area, to get away from the large crowds. (The earlier the better to start this hike.) Again, a really beautiful area.

Note, if you are coming from the West side to get to Logan Pass, take a look at the parking area about a quarter mile on the right before you get to the Logan parking area and see if there are open spots. That way, if Logan is full, you can turn around and drive down there to park. That is what we did. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the Visitor Center from there. The road doesn't have a sidewalk though, so be careful with small kids.

We drove up specifically to hike Hidden Lake Overlook. We also had heard there was going to be a Star Party at night so we purchased the parking pass which was $5 and we stayed until night.

There is a lot of parking but it does fill up so plan to arrive early if hiking.

The visitors center is nice with toilets close to the center and ‘better’ pit toilets down at the parking lot. The nicer toilets don’t have lights on at night though.

The Star Party sadly was a bust, we don’t control Mother Nature. The stars did not come out by 11:30 and the rangers told us we could leave or stay and wait it out but we had a drive to get back to our rental so we left. We did see stars on our drive down where the skies were clearer.

When you are here you are over 6400 ft. above sea level so the air is thin. You will notice it is several degrees cooler too. The view if Lake Mary is breathtaking and the winding road (Going to the Sun) affords you lots of photo ops. You will see a tunnel, waterfalls, wild goose island, and glaciers before you get to Logan's Pass. It is well worth the drive over winding roads to see the spectaculor views! Don't miss it!

This is a favorite destination and stopping point on the Going to the Sun Road. There is visitors center that is compact with restrooms. Several trails originate here. The parking lot reportedly fills early, but in late September, this was not a problem. The lot was cleared of snow two days when we stopped there.

Overall well run center. Parking is a problem 11-4. Was going to hike to Hidden Lake behind the center, but ran out of time. There is a Continental Divide marker down by the highway. We saw a herd of 7 big horn sheep just across the highway

We have been here twice and fortunately both times got the parking pretty easily. But I do recommend to come here early if you intend to hike.
The scenery is beautiful as in any hike or simply by the lakes in Glacier National Park.
The pictures don’t do justice for Glacier. What you will experience here will definitely be thousand time more beautiful and breathtaking than the photos.
You will see a lot of wildlife like mountain goats, big horn sheep, marmots etc. I was lucky enough to experience a baby mountain goats grazing just by me.
The Mom was high up in the mountain and was keeping an watchful eyes.
Once some other tourist spotted the baby and started taking pictures Mama Goat came down with lightening speed to take her baby away.
It was very cute. We kept respectful distance as everyone should. They can harm you if they feel threatened.
Sometimes the Mountain Goat and Big horn sheep will literally pose for you patiently.
Please respect the nature and bring your trash back with you to the visitor center to dispose.
Bring dry and non smelly snacks if you are hiking (So that you don't attract bear they can smell from miles away) . Bring water even for short hikes. The elevation might make you thirsty and outta breath sometimes. Take breaks as you need to catch your breath and wear sunglasses and sun screen specially in midsummer when sun is beaming. Enjoy the serenity!!

Do this hike! It was hard for us- uphill a lot of the way and we are not super in-shape like many of the people who visit Glacier. We huffed and puffed our way up the 2 miles and it was worth every extra fast heartbeat! I exaggerate a little- there were lot of places where it wasn't uphill and really only the first part was tough for us- but there are places to catch your breath and they are beautiful! Looks out over alpine meadows (filled with flowers when we were there), tons of bighorn sheep and mountain goats right in with us. Oh and a grizzly off in the next meadow, safely far away! The view at the end is getting a spot on our wall. This is just iconic and gorgeous. Don't miss this if you have the chance.

Nice stop with great boardwalks around the visitor center and lots of great views, wildlife, wildflowers and snow. Parking is difficult and it takes time and patience to find a spot that is open. Gift shop and visitor center were too crowded to get inside so we skipped them. There are restrooms available and the wait there was reasonable. The highlight was seeing the big horn sheep and playing in the snow. Footwear should be snow appropriate as there is snow and ice on the boardwalks and trails directly around the buildings.

The biggest problem with Logan Pass is the parking. If you are expecting to do any of the hikes in this area you better get there early, even during the slower parts of the season. There are some great views from the visitor center at the pass and then the iconic contentiental divide sign. There are some great hikes that you can take from here that I would highly recommend. It is also a good area for seeing the mountain goats.

Arrived at Logan's Pass around 5:50am. Parking lot was about a quarter full. However, 15 minutes later a caravan of cars arrived making the parking lot three quarters full. By that time there was already a line to get into the restrooms. By 6:30 am the parking lot was just about full and hikers were on there way. We got through two hikes that took us most of the day. I think that is what most people do.

Yes, parking is tough unless you get there before 7AM or after 3:30. Both days we went in the late afternoon, which made for easy parking. It may be tough to do Hidden Lake at that time but with smaller kids, we were not planning the whole hike anyway. We did the first part of the Highline Trail which has great views, but has steep drop offs.

The views from this visitor's center are really spectacular.

There is a wheelchair accessible (flat) loop trail right behind the building, and a longer trail along a boardwalk up to a lookout. The steps on the boardwalk are 12" tall in some places, so it is a trek if you are not accustomed to the altitude (6646ft/2025m).

The parking lot is usually full between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., so the park website recommends that you take the park shuttle. I was on one of the Red Jammer Buses.
Approximate driving time from Apgar Visitor's Center on the west side of the park is 1 1/2 to 2 hours, and from St. Mary's Visitor Center on the east side is 1 hour.

They have ranger led hikes, information, restrooms, water fountains, a bookstore, trail heads for The Highline and Hidden Lake trails, and interactive exhibits both inside and out.

This is a must stop, if only for a bathroom break. I recommend that you do take the time for the hike up the boardwalk for the spectacular views.

This is a very interesting area with all the mountains and glaciers. Take plenty of time to see the whole area. We were amazed at all there is to see here.

We were here in late June and it was COLD! 40°f! And so windy. Almost spoiled the stop. People were skiing so if you ski this would be a fun stop. Nice visitor center.

We are not ones for crowds, but we have to recommend a stop here. It is just too beautiful to miss. We overheard someone say that its an example of God showing off and we can not argue with that assessment. Take at least one of the trails that starts here and expect to see mountain goats and maybe bighorn sheep as well as marmots and pikas and the farther from the visitor center you get the fewer people there are.

This is a great centre. There are trails that start from here both short and long. We copped a rainy day so didn't walk far. This is a large car park, restrooms and a gift shop.

If you have your car, you can drive up to the top of Logan's pass, and there you can have your picture at the continental divide. Note: you are not allowed to "do what you are thinking", just pour some water from a bottle and see which way it flows. :)
The views are spectacular, and the drive up takes a lot of curves and winds. It's great fun. As well there are 2-3 hiking trails at the top, the most popular being the Highline

Visited here recently during wildfires so shrouded in smoke. Views would be spectacular in clear weather. Recommend going earlier in season when lower fire risk. Worth noting you can't buy food or drink inside the park do bring provisions with you.

This is a "Must See'" destination. "Going to the Sun Road" was the highlight of our three month trip to the Pacific Northwest.

We highly recommend taking the four hour Red Bus Tour up to Logan's Pass. We're glad we bought our tickets online because they do get sold out.

Parking can be challenging so start your day early.

Take advantage of the free seasonal shuttle service that makes trips to popular locations in Glacier National Park.

This is a spot everybody seems to think is worth the battle to park at. It does have a nice trail to Hidden Lake and if you are hiking the Highline Trail it would be a must stop. However, there really are just as many fantastic views, hikes, and photo ops at many other places in the park with less people crowding in on you. But, if you want to say you were at Logan's Pass, get up early and go!

We had to park about half a mile down the hill on the east side because the parking was rammed. Worth the hike back up to do the walk to Hidden Lake. Visitors centre wasn't as good as it could have been.

The apex to "The Road To The Sun" through Glacier N.P. It was a beautiful sunny and warm day and the surrounding views are stunning. No matter which direction you travel the "sun road", you will be rewarded with a stop at Logan Pass. Very easy access to all facilities located at the Visitor's Center.

Parking is your biggest challenge here but once you get a spot, there are restrooms, a visitor’s center, a gift shop and trailheads. The views are spectacular. Go soon...the glaciers are disappearing.

Recently, I took two trips on the red buses along the Going to-the-Sun Road from the entrance station at St. Mary to the summit of Logan Pass. [The west side of the Road was closed by reason of the fires north of Lake McDonald.] The trips were essentially the same but I will focus on the independent "Crown of the Continent Tour". After picking up travelers at Many Glacier, St. Mary and Rising Sun Motor lodge, our Red Bus Driver took us to the iconic Wild Goose Island overlook, then views of Jackson and Blackfoot glaciers and finally to Logan Pass. Since we had more stops, we turned around fairly quickly and rode down the road. It is a beautiful and amazing drive and whether the west side is open or not, strongly recommended for anyone desiring to enjoy the fantastic mountains of Glacier Park.

We wanted to hike from Logan Pass Visitor Center (Hidden Lake trail). We arrived at 0745, and by 0800, the lot was full. Glad we set out early, though-- great hike. Wonderful interactions with Rangers on the trail. Nice little visitor center. Picnicked in parking lot after our hike, along the low stone wall. No picnic tables/areas, however.

There is some real breathtaking views of the glacially carved mountains. The road is narrow with sharp curves I was scared we was me going to go off the edge of the mountain. It was 55°F with a big dark cloud pouring down cold rain. We saw a bicyclist come barrelling down the pass about 40 mph in the cold rain wearing biker shorts and a camelback water harness. That was the silliest thing we saw in GNP.

We took the Jammer tour up from St Mary's. This was the turn around spot, and we had about 45 minutes to walk around. The main restrooms were closed due to it being after Labor Day and the line was huge for the few that were open along with the porta johns. It had just stopped raining as we got there so a lot of the scenery was mist covered.

Beautiful drive up to Logan Pass with many good pull outs for picture taking. The only downside is that the parking lot fills up rapidly and the Rangers close the lot and just wave you on by. Worth the trip but go very early!

If you land a parking spot, Logan Pass offers some of the best views in Glacier. But the park service warns that the parking lot fills by 8 am. Well, we got there at 7:15 one morning, and it was already full. Also, the crush of people there takes away a lot of the enjoyment. And frankly, some of the visitors are clueless, and others are downright rude. A few break laws.

So...if you are lucky enough to land a reservation to drive Going to the Sun Highway...AND smart enough to get up there very early in the morning or after five in the evening, you can spend some time at Logan Pass. But be prepared for some potential "people issues."

To avoid contributing to the "people issues," read the brochure that you get when you enter the park. Obey the rules. Relax, slow down and give other people some space. Focus on nature. Don't make a nuisance by taking selfies in obnoxious ways.

We visited Glacier NP during the first week of August. That decision was a terrible mistake. The entire park was jam packed. If it were not for the magnificent scenery, this would be a one dot review. We got to Logan Pass at 6:30 am to get a park. We were not alone. The Highline Trail is not for people with a fear of heights, or for families with small children. The Hidden Lake Trail is fine for anyone in good physical condition. The park is open 24/7 during the summer. I was told by an older park employee that the first two weeks of August are the busiest of the season for the park.

Small parking lot fills up early! Most visitors take hikes from here so turn over is not very fast. There is distant , but not convenient road side parking. Nothing but bathrooms and souvenirs at the visitors center. Walked on the high line trail. It is not very far to the point where there is a chain to hold on to for a short distance.

Saw mountain goats at the summit. Nice shop and it has bathrooms. Loved the drive up from Apgar village. Such beauty. It’s a must see.

We always love stopping at Logan Pass to go into the visitor center and access a trail to Hidden Lake. In the past few years, the park has been so busy, that parking at Logan Pass is next to impossible to find. We have also consistently found mountain goats and sheep near here along the road. Once you reach Logan Pass (from St. Mary's) the road begins its descent. Not far from the pass, there's a beautiful mutliple story waterfall. There are also several other waterfalls in the mountains. The road is extremely narrow with hairpin turns, but absolutely worth the time to drive it.

This visitor canter is near the mid point of the going to the sun road. There are pit toilets and a bathroom with flush toilets as well. There is a small gift shop and a little informational exhibit, and it is also the trailhead for the hidden lake trail. For this reason it is incredibly crowded from 9 am until around 4 during the summer season. The line for parking can be 30 plus minutes.
From here you can do Hidden lake viewpoint - a mile and a half on boardwalks to a deck overlooking the lake, or the longer and more strenuous hidden lake trail which takes you to the shores of the lake via a steep descent on switchbacks.
Lots of goats on this trail, along with other cute creatures!

The angle is deceptive since it never feels that steep but once it’s gone on for an unrelenting 12 miles it takes its toll! It’s a great idea of the Park to have these hiker biker days between the end of the winter closure and the start of the main season in July and equally great to see so many people making the most of it. Shuttle service up from Apgar worked very well. Can’t think of anywhere else where you will get to enjoy a road cycle in such breathtaking scenery but absolutely free of traffic.

The con’s - parking is truly a nightmare as many of mentioned or this would have gotten a five star review. Not sure what the answer is. I know it would look terrible but parking garage?? It is just a shame that more people can’t enjoy this amazing location. We got lucky finding a spot around 3 pm one day. Another time we got there at 11 AM and no parking and the last time when we wanted to do the Hidden Lake Overlook Trail we left our cabin in Coram at 5:30 AM and arrived at Logan’s Pass at 7:25 AM to get one of the last spots available. The drive was slow due to the 18 miles of torn up roads near Lake McDonald. We got lucky to see Big-Horn Sheep twice. They are positively majestic! We were there the week of July 2nd and a bit surprised that most of the wildflowers were done. There were a few still hanging on but not like some photos I had seen in previous years.

After a nail biting drive from West Glacier it was nice to find a resting place to just chill..Unfortunately the parking lot competition (Quick !! Find a space before someone else finds it) was not was I looking forward to at the end of the breath taking drive. The area is large expanse of glacial runoff, with walking trails with benches which meander around the visitor center and one that leads to some snow pack that's bordered by fields of flowers. Nice glacier fed streams in the distance. Their are plenty of bighorned sheep waiting for the setting sun to come forage some "power bars"? You can see them mid afternoon in the distance. Bring binoculars at that time. When the sun is getting low around sunset, their up close and personal, kind of sniffing things out. This is a very beautiful place, and thank goodness the NPS has layout the area so that it stays in pristine condition.

Beautiful!!!! Great trails! Great wildlife. We went 2 days last week and did 2 different trails here. Day 1 it was noon so we left our car parked at Avalanche and rode rhe shuttle. Waited maybe 15min. After hiking the hidden lake overpass, it was 4pm so it was about a 30min wait foe a shuttle back to Avalanche. Shuttles arrived every 10min but they can only take 12 people. Day 2....arrived at 8 15am.....lot was full by 8:25. Get there early or bring your PATIENCE

This is a nice visitor center with lots of information. The whole national park is pretty and hence the Logan pass too is.

One of the most scenic stops on earth. You should plan to drive up there from both west and east as mountains and lakes look completely different on each direction. You must stop at Logan Pass but plan ahead as the parking can be challenging (either arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon; or may just be patient and wait for a spot to clear up.) Then, you must enjoy two of the most scenic hiking trails there - the Hidden Lake and Highline trails

Logan pass is the peak where you can experience continental divide. The 6 mile return trip to Hidden lake is worth hiking. possibilities of lots of wild life especially Mountain goats.
Start early in the day & return by noon to get nice views across the trail.

This place can get busy during prime travel times. We were lucky to find a parking spot without having to drive around too many times. The visitor's center here is nice with a small gift shop. There is a trail behind the visitor's center that is fairly long. We didn't have time to go very far on the path, but it was still beautiful.

Logan Pass Is the Crown of the Continent and the 6,646" high spot on your drive along the famous Going to the Sun Road. It's a gorgeous drive up there to the summit no matter the day you are able to visit. We drive up the Sun Road to Logan Pass several times a year during different months. This year it was near Labor Day weekend and during the Covid restricted year 2020. But BEFORE the first snow of the year closed the Sun Road temporarily on Labor Day weekend. In case you are wondering, that is very very early for the first snow which normally comes later in September.

Our drive up that day had been somewhat of a slow-slog behind a long line of cars getting to Logan Pass...but it was still worth it. In fact the extra slowness of the drive allowed us to enjoy the scenery even more and take a few photos right out of the car window in areas where you never get to stop otherwise.

The Fall foliage and wildflower colors along the Sun Road on the way up were gorgeous. We are photographers and we prefer to drive up to Logan Pass in the late afternoon because **we have learned over the years that it's much easier to find parking at that time of day. As a bonus the light angles are so much better for photos and the colors pop out better.

The Alpine Section of the Going to the Sun Road on the way up to Logan Pass begins at the Loop Hairpin turn and is also called "the drop-off section". It is not as scary as some people expect. There are safety barriers all the way and many places to turn off to catch your breath or take some scenic photographs.

The Alpine drop-off Section is really not very long...about 3.5 miles up from the Loop to Logan Pass Summit. Traveling from west to east to Logan Summit you are on the outer lane. Traveling east to west from Logan Summit, you are on the inside lane which some people think it's less scary.

Right AT Logan Pass we walked out back of the Visitor's Center and along the first part of the Hidden Lake Trail. Fall wildflowers and small alpine plants were a tapestry of colors and the cute little round eared Picas scampered about us. 360 degree mountain views to die for.

We debated about taking a shuttle from St Mary's Visitor Center, but were worried that getting a return shuttle back would be an issue. This was the worst parking problem we have encountered in the national parks. I would recommend either going very early, or later in the day, after 3 PM. We eventually did find a parking visit of both of our visits to Logan Pass but it was very frustrating. It also was disappointing that there were no sheep or goats to be seen. The view from Logan Pass is spectacular, but so many hikers use the parking lot that there is not a high turnover of cars that you typically have at a national park visitor center parking lot.

We went through Logan Pass three times during our trip to Glacier NP. GTTSR is not as bad you may have heard. It is an experience unto itself. At the Logan Pass Visitor Center you can take the Highline and Hidden Lake Trails. Be advised that Logan Pass has extremes in weather conditions. Be prepared for sun, rain, snow. In our visits we experienced them all during the first full week of September 2022.

If you have never been to Glacier National Park, go, go, go... Logan Pass and Going to the Sun Road are two of its high points, literally and figuratively. It is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking landscapes you will ever experience. Also, if you go, get out of your car, hike, paddle, even cycle and learn about its rich past and history - you won't be disappointed. It is truly one of our country's greatest treasures.

This is at the top of the Going To Sun road. Beautiful trails, nice visitor center with a gift shop and restrooms. Beautiful 360 degree views!

Logan Pass is at the top of the world. On the day we visited it was actually encased in a cloud. The views even with moisture is incredible. Travel safe...

Get here early to find parking. Otherwise, you'll circle round and round the parking lot looking for a space.

The visitor center itself is decent, though not spectacular. You get great views of the valley at the visitor center. Unfortunately, we came during the wildfires so our views were obscured by the thick smoke.

We were lucky this trip that the Going to the Sun road had just opened! 😁
The drive up the mountain is fantastic. Waterfalls and wildlife are abundant. It was truly beautiful!!

We were there mid June and it was cold! We loved the weather! The visitor center was great with clean restrooms, history and a gift shop perfect for souvenirs.

We really enjoyed our trip here!! 18 year olds loved it too!!

We would definitely come back next time we are in town!!

No parking. So many people that we didn’t get a chance to visit there. Witnessed a woman yelling at an officer because he wouldn’t let her into the parking lot.

We heeded the recommendations and got there before 8:30. It started filling up fast. There is a crowd that hikes up to Hidden Lake. But the boardwalk is wide so no big deal. Pack your patience. People are respectful for the most part.

Upon arrival the wind was gusting and it did not bode well for hiking but once you get a short way down the High Line trail the wind becomes less of a factor and the total awesomeness of the views dominates.

There were 2 trails we did at Logan Pass - the Highline and Hidden Lake Overlook. Prior to arriving at Glacier NP I had seen the tweets saying how the parking lot filled up EARLY (like 7 am and sometimes before that). If you go, check the webcam just to get an idea of what time you need to arrive to get a spot.

We visited Glacier on Monday and Tuesday (8/31 and 9/1). On Monday, 8/31, we tried circling the parking lot after our Avalanche Lake hike around 11:45 am but didn't have any luck. That same day, we came back around 5 pm after hiking at Sun Point and did find a spot but by that time it was cold and windy.

The next day on Tuesday, 9/1, we knew we had to get there early to do the Highline and Hidden Lake so we got there at 7 am. By 7:30 am, the lot was full.

The problem is that there are 2 trails there and 1 of them is long so people tend to park for awhile. There is also a gift shop there for visitors. And due to COVID right now, there are no shuttles running.

REALLY important to check the weather! The first time we went to Logan Pass from the east it was raining horizontally and MISERABLE. This time we came from West Glacier purposely arriving later in the day to avoid the traffic and find a quick parking place. Whilst the scenery in the lower elevations is beautiful, you ain't seen nothing yet, baby! Once you take the hairpin bend by the Loop trail the road and the scenery begin to change as you continue to climb. I was driving a dually and there is NO way I would do that section of road through the busyness of the day. As you climb, on your right side you have a sheer drop and the other side is overhanging rock. Very easy to see why Glacier has the width, length and height restrictions!

The views are AMAZING! The going was slow but we made it. We had come to Logan Pass to do the Hidden Lake Trail located behind the Visitor's Center. At this time of night (7pm) there was plenty of parking but still quite a few people on this very popular trail.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE that this trail is in FULL sun, another good reason to do it of an evening. Yes, due to the elevation (6,647ft) it is cooler up here but that sun can still get to you. Whilst this trail is boardwalk or stone/gravel most of the way it is a TOUGH climb heading to nearly 7,000ft. The steps are high. (Coming down you do not want to run!) Beautiful scenery and the view at the overlook is most definitely worth it. If you are feeling adventurous you can continue on to an even tougher walk down to the lake. We did not do this!

From the overlook you can see Sperry Glacier on Gunsight Mountain whilst right in front of you is Bearhat Mountain.

Watch out for the mountain goats as you walk along. They seem to like it by the clumps of pine trees. Whilst we did see a bighorn sheep on the walk the best view we had was when we got back to the parking area. A big fella was cleaning up the food left by visitors.

This is a MUST SEE when visiting Glacier National Park but take my advice and go later in the day or first thing in the morning. You'll be glad you did.

As you are traveling the Going to the Sun Road, you will eventually stop at Logan's pass. Its 6600 feet up and is just amazing. There is lots of snow still there and plenty of snow to play with. Great visitor center and bathrooms and a great gift shop. This is the best stop on the journey !! For Sure.

Logan Pass is great! It's a huge parking lot with bathrooms, a small gift shop and the starting point for many hiking trails. The downside is that there is not enough parking for everyone who wants to park here. Either arrive before 7am to secure a spot or after 4pm. Anything in between that you'll have to stalk someone to their car to acquire a spot. We did the Hidden Lake Overlook trail that started at Logan Pass and that was fantastic!

The parking lot fills early so be prepared to come back later or drive around looking for a place to park. Nice visitor center. Hiking trails start behind the visitor center. The wildflowers and snow on the ground were quite the contrast. Beautiful views.

Wish we had more time to explore and hike Logan Pass, we came from St Mary's Falls and Virginia Falls with a hiking guide and another couple. Wasn't on the schedule but he was nice enough to bring us. Lots of information great views and photo opportunities. A must stop and see.

Logan Pass in Glacier National Park is a bustling beehive of activity, but get there early to find a parking place, or you’ll be relegated to circling the lot, along with many others, in the hope of finding someone about to leave. Anytime after 8, you’re probably too late. One of the main stops on the beautiful Going to the Sun Road, it’s a crossroads for some awesome hikes, with mountain goat sightings almost a certainty on the Hidden Lake trail.

Get here early, parking was a little tight! We started to hike to Hidden Lake trail, but it was so hot and there was no shade, so we turned back. I am told that is where see most animals. Then another day, we checked out the Highline Trail. Too hot, to walk far. But I’m glad I didn’t as a family of mountain goats walked 25 feet by me!

Everybody visiting Glacier will drive the Going to the Sun Road, and will want to stop at Logan Pass, the highest point on the road. There are a couple good walks here, and of course the visitors center--though that doesn't have much that you can't get at other visitors centers in the park. The problem is the parking. In July and August, the parking lot will be full by 9 a.m. It's a large lot, however, and the turnover is high, so if you prepare yourself for 10 to 20 minutes of waiting, you'll find a spot. However, the problem isn't just the lot, it's the line-up that backs up down the road, especially from the western approach (more people stay on the western side, so there's more traffice coming from there). With the two-lane road, that can back up a half mile stretch and take forever to get through, even if you don't intend to stop at Logan Pass. Once you're there, plan on doing the Hidden Lake and Highline walks. Also, with the elevation above 6500 feet, it can be very windy and cold. We were there the first week of July 2018 and experienced temperatures of 42 to 65 at Logan Pass. Overall, just be prepared: your clothing, good walking shoes, full gas tank, good brakes, and mindset. It's absolutely gorgeous up there, so it's all worth it.

I visited once when I was in high school and it was on the bucket list to get back here. I was once again in awe of this place. The beauty here is beyond compare. The pass is the pinnacle point of the GTTSR and serves as a hub for hiking trails and shuttles. Here the snow fro the east side piles up on the road and the mountains lingering most of the summer. We had so much fun exploring in the area. Of you get there after 9 you won’t find parking!!! We got there at 8:45 and lot was full.

Good place to take a break but parking is insane.

Views are wonderful.

Very nice piece of geography.

It’s nature at its best.

Of all the smokey scenic views this place probably provided the most to see in the entire park. It was to crowded to park on way out, but I believe at 4 on our way back home we got lucky and found a car backing out although some psycho pedestrian running around the parking lot tried to claim it was her spot as her husband was driving around. Be aware of these tards and tell them to get a life lol.

This is the height of the trip on the Going to the Sun Road, and when at the top, you will be able to see mountains and valleys for miles. There are many hiking trails that begin here that will provide hours of enjoyment. A good visitor's center will provide good information.

We love Going to the Sun Road in all seasons and take it several times a year, every single year. This year we made our first trip over Logan Pass on the weekend of June 23, when the road first opened to traffic. Because of last winter's record breaking snow on the summit and east side of Glacier, there was more than normal snow left at the Visitor's Center and on the trails and meadows which were not yet melted out.

Glacier is certainly living up to its name this Spring. It will be a while for complete access to the high elevation trails but when they do open up it will be spectacular. Wildflowers will be popping up very soon too. The foliage all along the Logan Pass road is very lush and full. The waterfalls are running like crazy. There are more waterfalls than we remember ever seeing in Spring. They tumble out of the mountains along the Garden Wall section all over...not just the named falls. It looks to us like Glacier is going to be exceptionally pretty this year.

It is a slow drive because of very low speed limits and all visitors enjoying the views. It is not nearly as scary as some people expect. There are road-edge walls and safety barriers all the way and many places to turn off to catch your breath or have a little picnic, sitting on a barrier block..

The Alpine, drop-off Section is really not very long...about 3.5 miles up from the Loop to Logan Pass Summit. Traveling from west to east to Logan Summit you are on the outer lane. Traveling east to west from Logan Summit, you are on the inside lane which some people think its less scary.

Spectacular views from Logan Pass and two good hikes - Hidden Lake or Highline trails. Be bear beware on all trails in the park. We could only go to the Hidden Lake Overlook as the trail to the lake was closed due to bear activity. Plan to arrive at the parking lot before 8:00 a.m. or take the free park shuttle. The parking lot fills up quickly. We had no problem the first day but waited 30 minutes for a space on the second day. If in doubt, take the free shuttle. Restrooms at Logan pass and water refill station. Small park shop. No food services.

The shuttle drivers have a very serious job. Keep everyone onboard alive. The stone walls that are supposed to keep a vehicle from going over the cliff and dropping a couple thousand feet are just high enough that they would simply rip off the wheels of the bus as it goes over the edge. Quite an adrenaline rush. I'm so glad we took the shuttle instead of driving our car, because I would miss most of the scenery, because I was driving and my wife would miss ALL of the scenery because she would be watching the road to make sure I was not going to crash, because I would be trying to watch the scenery while driving. Lol

Since humans can't pick up their trast the park no longer sells bottled water or sodas. Thankfully I brought my own reusable bottle and they have a nice place to fill it up.

Parking is always tough here but be patient as people are constantly leaving. The bathrooms are good but the views are great. I have been here 3 times and have seen the big horn sheep everytime I was there so keep your eyes open.

Hiked Highline to the Garden trail and up to the Grinnell glacier. Amazing views. Highly recommend. Strenuous hike if going to glacier. If you choose to go to glacier also recommend Loop trail to get back to Sun road as mostly downhill. 10/10

We visited Glacier from 9/11-9/13. On Wednesday morning the parking lot filled by shortly after 8 am. The night before we found some empty spaces around 6 pm. People circle around multiple times to find a spot. If you get here in the morning after it’s full it will be very tough since most people stay for at least an hour.

The “Full” sign on the road was up all the time even when the lot was half empty. When it’s truly full they’ll put cones out to block the entrance.

Restrooms: at 9 am, the busiest time, they clean the restrooms. You must use the porta-potties next door. This took about an hour. The wait for a restroom was about 15 min+.

There’s a small visitor center with some t shirts, hats, and souvenirs. This is the trailhead for Highline and Hidden Lake. Behind the visitor center there are some nice, easy paved trails with interesting info signs and nice views that work for handicapped.

It's fun to take a picture with the elevation sign, but honestly, there's not much else to do here. And certainly NOT worth fighting the traffic to get a parking spot.
The building is so overrun with people it smells like a locke room desperately in need of cleaning.
And rather than tell you much about the park, it's mostly a gift shop.
Aside from the photo op, I'd skip the stop altogether.

On our way on GTTSR the Logan Pass parking lot was too full to stop at. On our way back we could get in & got to park. We walked up past the visitor center & marveled at the view of the mts. Some visitors were pointing out Mtn Goats....but the white spec was hard to see. We also crossed with hwy & hiked a bit on this trail as we had spotted the Big Horn Sheep by this trail on the way up. Didn't find the sheep where we last spotted them so came back and stood by the Continental Divide Sign for a picture. Once we left the parking lot & started heading back to the West Entrance we spotted the whole herd of Big Horn Sheep right by the roadside.😔

Logan Pass is on the Continental divide, over 6000ft up, and it is breathtaking. Logan Pass Trail behind the ranger station goes to a scenic overlook,but it is a hike up hill.

My favorite spot to visit when in Glacier! So beautiful and majestic. Arrive early in the morning or after 6 PM to get your parking spot at the Logan Pass Visitor Center. Walk around the area and you may see Squirrels, Marmots, Mountain Goats and Bighorn Sheep. As I said in my other reviews about Glacier: Walk the mostly boardwalk trail uphill to Hidden Lake Overlook. Well worth the energy spent to see this picturesque lake. And all the rugged mountain peaks. Take water and at lest some Trail Mix for a boost.
Restrooms located at the parking lot. Watch your kids of all ages as the animals are wild and the vehicles are wilder!
Park Rangers walk the Overlook Trail periodically. If you have questions. Ask them. They are very friendly.

Just another breathtaking vantage point from the incomparable vistas at Glacier National Park. Fantastic photo op while driving along Going to the Sun Road. So hard to capture the essence on my iPhone but I did my best. Truly awe-inspiring.

What a breath-taking (including the hike) 360 view of the magnificence of God's creation! Take the hike; take it slow; it's worth it.

We were able to stop here on our red bus tour. We couldn’t get into the parking area in our private car, which we wanted to do. This lot fills very early in the day, so plan accordingly. There are lovely trails from the visitor center and the views are spectacular. We wanted to do some hiking here. But couldn’t get parked to do that activity. The visitor center is small and can be crowded. Just expect lots of people!

We were in Whitefish, MT all week this week and had been to the east and west entrances of Glacier National Park, and explored both ends, but the road was still closed because of an avalanche until yesterday; June 25th. Luckily we heard the road was opening and got to spend several hours going to Logan Pass. So glad we didn't miss this part of the park! It was incredible!

The site was not that great for views. That is, not the best place from the main building. If you travel just a bit more past the tunnel on the east side, there are some great places to pull off and look back and down the valley. However, if you hike up on the snow pack you will get some great views.

There is a restroom here and usually a friendly Ranger to answer questions.

So, Logan Pass is the pinnacle of your drive along the Going to the Sun Hwy. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown for us. As many others have mentioned, parking is at a premium. You will endlessly circle the lot in a vain attempt to find a spot. We actually lucked into one, but my advice would be to try to see this spot either early on or later in the afternoon.

There wasn't a lot to do here as the visitor center is closed because of Covid and the wait in line for the small giftshop was 20 minutes. And some of the trails in the area were closed as well. There were park rangers available for advice and guidance and they provided us with a stamp for our NP stampbook. Otherwise, you aren't missing a lot if you decide to skip this stop and drive on by.

The parking lot was full, but if you are patient- you might still find a spot as people come and go frequently- we found a spot! FYI there are indoor bathrooms, so skip the outdoor ones. There is also a water station to fill up your canteens! The visitor's center is very nice- things to buy and park employees to answer your questions. If you do the hidden lake hike- its beautiful and we saw mountain goats right on the path. Our 4 kids made it to the lake overlook, but it is a decent hike& paved- bring plenty of water and make sure you have sunblock and and hat- no trees- very alpine! It was very hot the day we hiked and there was no break from the sun.

Logan Pass is located right near the Continental Divide and is the most popular destinations in the park for hiking. The parking lot is very small so if you want a space you must be there either really early in the morning or later in the afternoon/early evening. You can take one of the red buses up there, but even then it is best to arrange that in advance. Many of the nicest hiking trails head off from Logan Pass. There are bathrooms there and it is prudent to utilize them as the next ones might be a ways off. Small gift shop, with similar things you would find at the visitors center. We saw elk nearby.

I don't know why these ratings are so high- it must be people who are using this area as a trailhead for Highline or Hidden Lake. The visitor center is just ok and it's super crowded! We got there at 2:30pm and although the lot hadn't been closed, we couldn't find a spot. We came back at 3:15pm and found a spot. Only 1 water filling station!

Beautifully built station, indescribable setting behind the station with sidewalks for casual wondering, and multiple bathrooms that handle the large crowds. No food except packs of nuts and such. Interesting books to purchase, parking always an issue. Fabulous trail heads there, Hidden Lake trailhead begins the station, well marked, Highline Trail across the road, well marked.

As most other reviewers have noted, if you are not part of a tour, you must arrive early to have the opportunity to enjoy Logan Pass. Before coming to Glacier, start following their Twitter account as the post when the Logan Pass parking lot fills up. During the July week we were there, it was virtually impossible to find a spot after 8:30am. Plan to arrive at least 30-45minutes before the projected closing due to traffic, etc. If you followed the advice of the reviewers, you will have an opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful spots in Glacier. We took a couple hikes and in-between had a picnic lunch near the visitors center. You will forget about being tired from the early morning once you start exploring!

The park is much busier than I remember it as a child, but Logan Pass is not to be missed! We hiked part way to Hidden Lake, (there were limitations due to grizzly sightings), and saw mountain goats and beautiful mountain flowers. A decent hike, make sure you bring a water bottle, but not above the abilities of the amateur, no mountain climbing gear necessary. It is highly recommended you park at the visitor's center at Lake Saint Mary and take the free shuttle up to Logan Pass, as parking is limited at the top.

First let me start by saying, I am terrified of heights. Driving from Lake McDonald to Many Glacier Lodge was beautiful but the road is winding and high up. So after miles of white knuckles, I stopped and took something to help me relax. While I did look the sites were literally breathtaking, lol.

On a positive note, we drove back across Logan Pass on the opposite side of the road next to the mountain and I saw much more than the first trip.
There is a Logan Pass visitors center. My advice is to get there at 8 AM as the parking lot fills up fast. There are several trails that start from Logan Pass.

Go in October, there is no one there. Bathrooms could use more frequent cleaning, walking by them I almost vomited.

So many people, and lot of them smoking or standing around which made it very difficult to get around. We chose hikes and had a much better--and less smoky-- experience.

Here you have a parking lot ( can fill up quickly), gift shop, trails (all are moderate to difficult) and some very nice views.

Every trip over the Going-to-the-sun road has to include a stop at Logan pass. Nowhere else can you so easily access the high country. Be sure to take your time here.

Logan Pass offers beautiful views but get there early in the day if you want a chance of getting a parking place. This is a very crowded and very busy place. Lots of people.

the going to the sun road tops out at LOGAN PASS named for the guy who built the road in 1928 there is a parking lot,,,GET THERE EARY AND THAT MEANS BY 8 AM IN THE SUMMER bring your own food candy and drinks there is lots to do there great hikesNO SORRY world class hikes for people in great shape and familys with little kids BRING YOUR OWN FOOD AND WATER THEY SELL NOTHING THERE

Logan Pass is a busy place. Be prepared to wait for parking and please be patient. The visitors center is nice, lots of information in the center and a gift shop as well. There are no food or drinks in the visitor center so make sure to bring your own if you’re planning on spending any amount of time up there. Several trailheads begin here at the pass. While we were up there there were rangers teaching about wildlife that can be found along the trail using visual aids. Our kids enjoyed learning about the wildlife. The views from the pass are second to none...

Arrive early to find a parking spot. The hike from Logan Pass to Hidden lake is wonderful. It’s an intermediate level trail - and there are portions of it still covered by snow! Nonetheless, the views of Hidden Lake are amazing when you reach the lookout.

The Logan Pass parking lot fills up by 11:00 during peak season since many people park there to begin their Highline Trail hike as well as others that originate there. It is a central stop on the GTTS road, having nice restroom facilities and a place to get snacks. We sat on rocks at the back of the restaurant only to have a cute brown squirrel hop in my lap hoping for a snack. (Do not feed the animals no matter how tempting it is!) Logan Pass marks the Continental Divide so many people line up to get their picture at the sign. It’s also a shuttle stop and many get in line to catch one back to the place where they parked their cars. If you plan to ride the shuttle, pack your patience with you because they fill up quickly and oftentimes you might have to wait for the second or third shuttle to show up.

Another option is to take the shuttle from either the Apgar Visitor's Center, or on the east at St. Mary's Visitor Center. There are several hikes, like Hidden Lake or the Highline Trail that are very worth it!

Views were amazing. Saw herd of big horn sheep, mountain goats at Logan Pass and on the Hidden Lake trail. Parking was a big issue.

A parking lot with a gift store & restrooms! Not much else there. Nice waterfall 1-mile west of Logan Pass.

Take the shuttle from the Apgar Visitor Center to Logan Pass. We were driving a 30-Foot RV, and exceeded the maximum length for the Going to the Sun Road and I'm glad! The road is narrow and hugs the cliff with numerous hairpin curves. Letting someone else drive was so much better. The views are absolutely amazing all the way up and down. The visitor center is very informative. Trails were easy for my wife, even on a sprained ankle. The highlight may have been seeing a herd of bighorn sheep.

Logan Pass has a visitor center and some trails that start there. We just stopped for the views and to snap some quick pictures. While there we saw a herd of mountain goats, bighorn sheep and even a grizzly bear in the distance! It can get busy and difficult to park, but it's definitely worth it! the mosquitos were really bad there though!

We drove up on one of the last days of September that you could get through before the first snow closed the Road to the Sun! Unfortunately it was very busy and we had to drive around the parking lot with about 20 other cars to wait for a parking spot!
The visitor’s center was closed as well as the bathrooms!
We walked around the paths wanting to see the Big Horn Sheep or the Mountain Goats but they were not there. There are gorgeous views in several directions so we enjoy them on a beautiful sunny day.

This was a pit stop on our agenda and it was well worth it. A very lovely spot and a good place to snap a quick photo at the continental divide. Very large and clean bathroom. Very crowded when we were there.

When I was coming back down the hiking trail at the end of the hike I saw rangers carrying oxygen, I wondered if they were looking for me as this was one tough hike! At the top most part of the hike is a crystal clear lake which on the day we went reflected the surrondings off its surface. We saw mountain goats and a lot of people. Everyone had a different time frame of how much more time it would take to get to the top but it was all worth it in the end. Many streams and some waterfalls. The streams had some beautiful flowers growing along side of them. Everyone was so helpful and encorageing.

This pass is beautiful. Tons of wildlife including mountain goats and bighorns. The visitors center was full of useful information

This is a must do if you are at the park. Beautiful view, hiking paths. It is a great experience, but dress warmly.

We had been here 3 years ago in July where snow still remained on the mountains. We saw bighorn sheep. Now, only the vault toilets are open, and there is no running water. However, here is a fill station for water bottles. The Hidden Pass Trail has a boardwalk with steps, not possible for the handicap. We're disappointed after having to wait till after 4pm to get parking. There are fun displays for kids.

We drove straight up the East side heading West and arrived by 8:15 knowing that we had all day to drive back and check out anything we wanted to later. We had clouds and drizzle, but still very beautiful. Walk to Hidden Lake overlook is uphill almost the whole way, some on boardwalks and stairs. We saw about 10 Mountain Goats half-way up. Very nice, but not OMG nice.

We did this trail on August 20 and it was my favorite hike in Glacier (we also did the first part of Highline, first part of Siyeh Pass, Aster Falls, Avalanche Lake, Johns Lake Loop to McDonald Falls, etc.)--the unbelievable spread of wildflowers in yellow, red, purple, white, and pink and everything between were astonishing and like nothing I've ever seen. The climb up was steep for us nearly-50-year-olds from flat-land in Michigan, but *so* worth the effort. The surprising hidden lake at the top was also beautiful, but since we've been to the Canadian Rockies' lakes several times, the lake itself was not as delightful as the carpet of flowers and the little streams and waterfalls along the way up.

Beautiful views, a visitor center and small gift shop, and trails. Was very cool and very windy. Wildlife. Parking not easy to come by. Worth the effort.

Everyone should visit Glacier before they kick the bucket, and traveling the Going to the Sun Road and stopping at Logan Pass for a hike, or two are a “must do.” The rangers aren’t kidding when they say get there early if you want to find a parking place. The lot was already full when we arrived even before 10 AM. Fortunately we were with an escorted group so others had to deal with the parking challenge. My wife and I spit up...she hiked a short section of the Highline Trail, and I opted for the Hidden Lake Trail. We both loved our short hikes. Be warned that the Hidden Lake Trail involved crossing a couple of large snow fields in early July which more than doubled the effort required to make what would normally be an easy walk in dry conditions. Check out the Glacier Park webcams and trail status reports for conditions if you want to be sure.

The visitor center has nice bathrooms, a gift shop, and an information desk staffed by Rangers. We had bags lunches with us that we ate picnic style behind the visitor center.

You want to get up and get there early, the parking lot really fills up. We were up by 8:30 AM and got to park near the front. You won't be able to hike to hidden lake without poles in late June or good hiking boots.
