Hike to a prominent peak on the Continental Divide with outstanding views of the Badger-Two Medicine, Bob Marshall Wilderness, Glacier National Park and the Great Plains on the Blackfeet Reservation. The hike begins just south of Marias Pass. It follows a restored road through a diverse conifer forest before gaining the Divide. The hike then climbs steadily up a faint old trail along the grassy north slope to the peak. Portions of the route are off trail. Enjoy your lunch and the fabulous views before descending by the same route. Participants must pre-register as space is limited. Questions?
