If you’re looking for sparkling alpine lakes, cascading waterfalls, and lots of wildlife, you can’t beat the hike to Our Lake, on the Rocky Mountain Front west of Choteau. The lake, also called Hidden Lake, is tucked high up in a rocky cirque. To get there, follow the winding trail through a forest of fir and spruce, making sure to enjoy the vibrant wildflowers littered among the trees. You’ll be able to visit two tumbling waterfalls along the way, and make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the mountain goats, bighorn sheep, marmots, and pikas that call the rocky slopes above Our Lake home.
