Columbia Mountain
First outing of the year with the GMS, and LOTS of snow on this May excursion! An excellent conditioning peak—nice day all around.

Overnighter
A very nice solo hike to the top on an incredibly hot day--hiked alone to the top on 7/1/03 and spent the night--I read by the campfire and fell asleep listening to the train rolling through Columbia Falls. It was a bit hazy on the way up due to drifting smoke from the Oregon fires (this was still about 2 weeks before the Robert Fire started) but waking up at sunrise I found it to be crystal clear. A great, memorable hike!
