\u00a0We arrived in the parking lot around 0700 and it was filling up. \u00a0We returned to the parking lot around 1100 and it was packed with cars continuously circling looking for parking. \u00a0Shortly afterwards park\u00a0rangers closed the parking lot completely. \u00a0Evidently rangers periodically close the parking lot to let traffic\u00a0thin out. \u00a0We saw the same thing happen in Yellowstone National Park (I will post images from that trip later).<\/p>\n<p>Hidden Lake Overlook N48 41 14.02\u00a0W113 44 29.72<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the view from the Hidden Lake overlook at Glacier National Park. \u00a0The hike&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[543],"tags":[362,365,348],"class_list":["post-1445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-montana","tag-glacier-national-park","tag-hidden-lake-overview","tag-montana"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1445"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2073,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1445\/revisions\/2073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scottshawphotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
