Hidden Lake Trail, Glacier National Park, Montana, USA
Hikers habitually gawk at bears and bighorn sheep along this alpine 5.4-mile out-and-back. In summer you’ll be surrounded by wildflowers as you gaze at Glacier’s jagged peaks. Descend to Hidden Lake via switchbacks to lounge on the beach, with Bearhat and Reynolds Mountains just over your shoulder.
