Logan Pass and the Hidden Lake trail probably provides some of the most majestic scenery in all of Glacier NP. The trail start at just under 6500 ft above sea level, and ascends almost 500 feet in little more than a mile. The trail consists largely of a boardwalk staircase, with many of the steps a good 12 inches high. All of this presents something of a challenge for someone like me who's spent his entire life living near sea level.

Red is not a common fall color in Glacier.

A shy Columbian Ground Squirrel, hiding in the grass along the trail.

Looking down on a series of terraces south of the trail.

A rampart-like outcropping of rock layer on one of the terraces south of the trail.

Yeah, it sure is a fine collection, Howard. My favorites are the first two and the two close ups of the squirrel and the flowers. The composition of the first two really works for me and completely offsets the less than optimal light. The flower image is perfect! All of them have been 'developed' just right, too. Looks like you had a grand trip this year! I look forward to seeing any more you have from your travels.
