My family and I have been staying a week at a Flathead Lake cabin north of Polson every summer for 5 years now. This year, my grandson Braeden and I decided to drive up to Logan Pass one night to take pics of the Milky Way. When we got to the top of the pass we realized that we had forgotten our bear spray and flashlights in a bag at the cabin. We walked up to an area about 100 yards past the visitor's center and waited until it was dark enough to get some pics. Holy Toledo.....is it ever dark up there when the moon goes behind the mountain! The following is one of the photos my grandson got that he put on Facebook.

We were quite surprised at how many people were hiking back from the Hidden Lake Overlook after dark. We also saw at least two people hiking up to the overlook around midnight.
