SantosĪs we had the day before, we used the restrooms off of the visitor center patio and got ourselves ready out front of the building before setting off. Even though it was only about half an hour later than we’d arrived the day before, we nabbed one of the last available parking spots. At about the time that the chasm along the road began to make me feel nervous, we arrived. The drive up to Logan Pass was just fine. I gotta say that the story about this “rogue” bear seems pretty overwrought. Hot coffee, yogurt, and a ham sandwich eased my hangover.Ī case in the lodge’s lobby displayed a taxidermied female Grizzly Bear. Mary Lodge to get some breakfast at the coffee shop in the lobby. We piled in and first drove out of the Park to St. Plus, since we were only going to Logan Pass and no further on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, I knew I’d be able to drive it. I offered to drive because the ridiculous Expedition we’d been given by Enterprise was roomier than Dan’s Super-Roo. Then in the afternoon we’d go over to Many Glacier and reserve boat tickets for a hike over the weekend.

Our goal was to return early to Logan Pass to do the short hike to Hidden Lake Overlook and hopefully see some Mountain Goats and other wildlife. Bearhat Mountain, Hidden Lake, and Mountain GoatsĪs we had the previous morning, we woke early on Friday, August 3.
