UNESCO WHS - Glacier NP - Hidden Lake Postcard

UNESCO WHS Serie - Waterton Glacier International Peace Park - Glacier National Park - Hidden Lake - In 1932 Waterton Lakes National Park (Alberta, Canada) was combined with the Glacier National Park (Montana, United States) to form the world's first International Peace Park. Situated on the border between the two countries and offering outstanding scenery, the park is exceptionally rich in plant and mammal species as well as prairie, forest, and alpine and glacial features. Glacier National Park encompasses more than 1 million acres (4'000 km2) and includes parts of two mountain ranges, more than 130 named lakes, more than 1'000 different species of plants and hundreds of species of animals. The Park has almost all its original native plant and animal species. Hidden Lake is surrounded by numerous peaks, including Bearhat Mountain to the south-west, Dragons Tail to the south, Clements Mountain to the north, and Reynolds Mountain to the east. It is a popular day hike destination, with the Hidden Lake overlook a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) hike from Logan Pass, and the lakeshore adding another 1.5 miles (2.4 km) one way.
