Today we took the shuttle to Logan Pass and hiked to Hidden Lake. Actually they didn't hide it well enough, because way too many tourists found it. Logan Pass is at the top of the Going-to-the Sun Road and the most popular destination in the park. Many folks hike up the boardwalk and gravel trail 1.5 miles through the meadow to the Hidden Lake overlook. 
Fewer folks actually continue down the other side of the pass another 1.5 miles to Hidden Lake. Along the way we got many good looks at hoary marmots, ground squirrels, mountain goats and big horn sheep. We ate lunch at a rocky point 1/2 mile around the lake. I fished a bit but didn't catch anything. I was at a good place; the fish were here. One 20" cutthroat trout kept swimming by me, but he wasn't interested in anything I had to offer. I could have dropped a rock on him or grabbed him with my hands, but that didn't seem very sporting.Tuesday evening we grilled steaks for some folks we met hiking. This was our first attempt at entertaining on the road, and I think it went OK.
