リンカーン郡の絶景の山頂・トップ5

Mount Henry reaches a summit of 8,852 feet and peaks high in the Lewis Range of Glacier National Park, south of Appistoki Peak in the Two Medicine region. The mountain is known for its red rock formations and has an awesome view from the summit. The Pacific Northwest Trail ascends through lodgepole pine forests and crosses above the treeline. It's a tough climb with rewarding views.

The Ten Lakes Wilderness Study Area (WSA) is nestled in the Kootenai National Forest and covers 34,000 acres. The landscape is rugged, and hikers will find alpine lakes, glacial cirques, and peaks exceeding 7,800 feet, such as Poorman Mountain and Green Mountain. Store food correctly, as there are grizzly bears, lynx, and wolverines.

6,529-foot-tall Mount Baldy has been used as a fire observation site since 1910. The 26-foot-tall tower that stands on the summit now was built in 1957. You can stay in the tower overnight from June through September if you make a reservation with the U.S. Forest Service. The summit is a good place to see sunrises/sunsets and to stargaze on clear nights. Snow persists into the summer months, so keep this in mind—drifts may make accessing the lookout difficult, both to those on foot and those in a car.

A lookout hut sits atop 6,962-foot Mount McGuire. Though this lookout building is not on stilts, it still provides good views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

5,988-foot-tall Webb Mountain is home to a fire lookout tower that was built in 1959. There is a vault toilet on the premises, and the lookout tower can be rented for overnight stay from the U.S. Forest Service at a cost of $45 per night. The summit offers expansive views of the Kootenai River and the surrounding mountains.
