Sorry for the oversized pics.
I understand if you're looking parallel to a large canyon, from a distance, you can't see it. But, it's easy to see the Grand Canyon. I took the term "hidden" as meaning the Rivendell can't be found unless the Elves let you find it. Almost magical. But if Sauron tells his orcs or winged beasts especially, "Just head a few miles that way and you can't miss the giant canyon of Rivendell. It's a giant hole in the ground" then those orcs would certainly find it.
I'm certainly not able to pull up a Middle Earth map mentally or quote passages. Just a wondering about the movie's adaptation.
I've resized the Carock pictures. The way the 3 mountain ranges move in parallax, there's no way that center range would disappear to the right enough to make reveal the huge flat lands leading towards Lonely Mountain. And on the 2nd shot, the Carack is much closer to the mountains sandwiching left and right. The center range just disappeared. Only if the Carack is moved way forward and turned facing right, where the river turns right, could the final shot be possible.
It's very unimportant I know. But here it is anyway

So apparently Rivendell is underground?

It doesn't vanish. Look at the company's shadows - they're facing a different direction
