글레이셔 카운티‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 산 정상

Over this section, you will traverse the northern, innermost wall of the cirque (or “punchbowl” as I like to call them) located to the west of Mount Grinnell. The section offers breathtaking views on Mount Grinnell and the Swiftcurrent Glacier, and the experience itself of descending through this cirque is absolutely unreal!

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…)

The cliffs of Scenic Point in Glacier National Park are as stunning as they are daring. But don't worry there is plenty of space to stay away from the edge. :) And the views are still amazing in every direction.

At the summit of Swiftcurrent Mountain, you'll find this historic Fire Lookout (still staffed). The two-story lookout was built mostly out of timber in 1936. As you can imagine the views from up here are worth the hike, but I'd say the lookout is a reward in itself.

This mountain's shape represents almost perfectly the nearby Continental Divide several miles further west, the watershed along which waters either drain toward the Pacific or the Atlantic/Caribbean side of the North American continent.

For hundred miles along the Chief Mountain Highway the western horizon toward Glacier National Park is dominated by the impressive silhouettes of Chief Mountain and Sherburn Peak.
