플랫헤드 카운티‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 산 정상

From the summit you get panoramic views in every direction. The trail gains just over 1100 feet over ~2 miles to arrive here, but the descent is not too challenging. The hike is well worth it!

The fire lookout remains closed to the public, but don’t let that discourage you from taking the trip up here! The scenery is remarkable, and the marmots are friendly! Bathe in the 360 degree, birds eye views while the marmots drag your trekking poles away! (I’m not kidding folks, keep anything that you want to go down the mountain with on your persons at all times…)

Southwest of this viewpoint, towering above the other peaks and commanding attention from those who cast their gaze this way, stands the cirque ridden, snow swirled Heaven’s Peak! Then, to the southeast, a seemingly endless valley flanked by “The Garden Wall” on the left (of the photo), and on the right, Reynolds Mountain peaks at you from between Mount Oberlin and Clements Mountain!

The peak of Nasukoin Mountain, the highest point in the Whitefish Range, offers expansive views of the entire North Fork and Glacier National Park.

The Mount Brown Lookout, rehabilitated in 1999, is on the National Historic Lookout Register. It was constructed in 1929, and was last manned on a full time basis in 1971. The mountain is named after William Brown, a Solicitor General for the Chicago and Alton Railroad. He and several other adventurers climbed the peak during a fishing trip in 1894.

Lincoln Peak is a family-friendly summit, but is on the strenuous side. On the way up yoou can stop at the Sperry Chalet for a snack and ditch any unneeded gear before you continue on the additional mile to the summit.

Great mountain top chalet with a small assortment of candy and food.

Meadow Peak Lookout stands on Meadow Peak. You are able to stay overnight in the lookout if you reserve it through the U.S. Forest Service. There is cell phone service here as well as a campfire ring and an outhouse. There is no water or electricity. The summit offers good views of the Cabinet and Purcell Mountains and Thompson and McGregor Lakes.
