What it is actually like
The trail starts behind the Logan Pass Visitor Center. The first portion is largely boardwalk with steps, then continues through open alpine terrain. The wildflowers were beautiful and the mountain views felt much bigger than the effort required to reach them.
What you should not expect is solitude. Families, kids and hikers of all speeds are moving in both directions. Go in knowing that and it is easier to enjoy the trail for what it is.
Wildlife is part of the appeal
We saw a mountain goat in the Logan Pass area. Keep your distance and give wildlife plenty of room even when everyone around you is stopping for photos.
Would we do it?
Yes, especially if you are already at Logan Pass. It is an unusually accessible return on effort. We would pair it with a short out-and-back on Highline rather than devote separate days to each.
