Bearhat Mountain, Glacier National Park

This is the famous view of Bearhat Mountain from the Hidden Lake Overlook.

Bearhat Mountain (8,684 feet) is located directly above Hidden Lake, and it is the prominent mountain that you see to the west when you are standing on the Hidden Lake Overlook.  The views from Bear Hat are spectacular, especially looking back onto the Logan Pass Area.  This flat-topped mountain is another famous mountain in Glacier National Park, and we hope you enjoy the photos from its summit.

In between Reynolds Mountain (right) and Going-to-the-Sun Mountain (left) is a view of the eastern prairie.  On a clear day, you can see all the way to Minneapolis! (Well, maybe not that far.)

This is a view of the famous Sperry Glacier.  The camera is facing south.  Sperry Glacier is one of the largest Glaciers in the Park, and to see it up close and personal, you need to visit the Sperry Chalet.
