After you drive the Road To The Sun, there is a hike and a visitors center at the top to the Hidden Lakes. MUST DO. It is absolutely amazing. Out of everything that we saw in Montana, this was my favorite. You walk up this boardwalk for about half of the hike up into the mountains and then there is a nice dirt path for the rest. The thing that was different about this place then any other was that there weren't any trees... just green fields and wildflowers. I had to fight the urge to run off the path into the fields and stretch my arms out wide and twirl around singing "the hills are alive, with the sound of music..." It really felt like I was in the Sound Of Music... Every now and then while on the hike, you just have to stop and look around you... simply breathtaking...

Missing Monty... The man behind the camera :) |
|
We brought the hiking backpack just in case, but Luke did walk most of this hike. More then I expected him to. |
|
Of course, Luke had lots of help :) |
|
THE HILLS ARE ALIVE... WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC... |
|
The boardwalk was about a mile long... |
|
Beautiful flowers were everywhere! |
We saw many things on this hike that we weren't expecting. There was sun and snow, Mountain Goats, Marmots, and also a tone of these cute little Chipmunks. We even saw what appeared to be Amish people, but they also had digital cameras and smart phones, so who knows, but Monty secretly snapped a picture of them :)
|
Crazy how close they come to you. |
|
I totally could have picked this guy up... he was like a big beaver rat thing..." Marmot" |
|
No big deal... just hanging out with the goats :) |
|
I didn't see any horses and buggy's in the parking lot... |
Pack a lunch or some snacks because at the top, there are a lot of places to sit and eat, and enjoy the goats, and the beautiful view of the Hidden Lakes. These are just a few of the pictures that we took trying to capture the beauty of this majestic place. This hike kind of changes you... if you really look around and truly appreciate the beauty and embrace its magnitude, then I believe it can be life changing. It's gods country... simple, pure and honest.

Beautiful View |
