Fall colors are currently a highlight in the area, with cottonwoods, quaking aspens, big leaf maples, and vine maples adding to the scenery. The Hidden Lake Trailhead has an open pit toilet, but the Glacier View Campground facilities are locked as the campground is closed for the season. There is a possibility of forestry work on the access road, which might affect walking that section.
