| WOLFrising | Rough Day on a Steep Trail | |
| Summer 2012 Elk may have been my roughest day on a mountain in Glacier. Climbed with Jose y Borja on a particularly HOT day in the park. The trail was steep, and the stream crossings were depleted to gurgling brooks. We bathed in a small snow patch found near the top. A total surprise after a pleasant, beautiful day on the Mt. Henry 4 mountain ridgewalk! | |

| Took advantage of a beautiful blue sky day and am pretty sure I had the whole southern end of the park all to myself. Couldn't think of a better church to spend Easter in than Glacier. | |

| Evergreen | Good conditioning hike Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2011 | |
| I have read that Mt Brown LO is the steepest trail in the park, but I think Elk Mtn might actually be steeper. Great views from the top -- picked out Loneman and Scalplock LOs, Henry, Flinsch, Great Northern, Pinchot. Wind not as bad at the summit as it was on the way up! | ||

| 2010 July 24 Went solo for the first time. Awesome day. 2011 March 18. James & I tried it, but it became a blizzard and turned around about 2/3 of the way up. 2011 3-27 Had a beautiful day with Dell, Martin, Laurel, & Aleysha. Had some awesome butt glissading on the way down. | |

| Very, very steep trail to the top. Interesting views from the top, including a great perspective on the Ole Creek drainage and mighty Mount St. Nicholas. Watched a wicked storm brewing over Two Medicine north of Firebrand Pass, but my hour on the summit was generally quite sunny and warm. Loved getting to see a different area of the park from up top. | |

| Went with a group of 24 GMSers. Was a wonderful climb until the last 600 feet when the top disappeared in to the clouds. Biting cold, 30mph winds, 20ft visibility. But all had a good time. | |

| Summitted in 50 mph gusts of wind with blowing snow and clear skies. The snow had obliterated the trail above the false summit so went straight up. | |

| Climbing partners...Tater, Cougar and Kitty and myself summitted in 4 hours. Great day hike to what is probably a seldom hiked mountain. Views from the summit were very nice...particularly of Little Dog Mountain and Sheep Mountain. Hiking the ridge to Little Dog would be an interesting proposition. | |
