Scalplock Mountain Summit

Glacier National Park, Montana

After off and on rain storms overnight I headed up Scalplock Mountain at the southern end of Glacier. Made for some interesting in and out of the clouds for some of the day. It was to be my last adventure of the week prior to driving back to Missoula. The skies cleared as I was gaining altitude and the views opened up. The approach trail was a beautiful path through the forest that some guidebooks call an unimpressive green tunnel, but I like this part of the climb almost as much as the views from the top.

Once I reached the summit (only 2 small bits of snow to cross) I spent some time just watching the clouds go by, and scouting routes for some of the nearby peaks that I will try to summit later this summer.

Only saw two others going up this mountain so it was a nice quiet day with little to interrupt a wonderful easy climb to another Glacier summit.
