Logan Pass Details
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 snow and cold temperatures even in the summer. 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. Photographers often set up to capture images in the early morning and evening to take advantage of the beautiful light and the increased chance of spotting wildlife. 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. 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. Consider taking one the park's free shuttles to the pass. Logan Pass is closed in the winter. It usually opens at the end of May and closes in mid-October depending on the weather.
