| WOLFrising | Great Lookout  | |
| Summer 2010 This is one I've climbed multiple times from both sides. It was my first Many Glacier area summit, and it's definitely my favorite lookout in the park. You can see all 6 10000 footers from a lookout! Plus, Buck has some great info on Wolverines! | |

| 2010 July 27 Went solo from the Loop. Came back out along the Highline trail to Logan Pass & took bus back down to the Loop. Along the Highline I was buffaloed by a mountain goat for a while right in the cliffy part with nowhere else to go. Finally, I inched by him, eyeing his two little sharp horns the whole time. June 4, 2011 Rode bikes with GMS from Avalance Lake to the Loop, then snow shoed to Swiftcurrent Lookout. Saw a grizz early on. | |

| Highline Trail to Grinnell Glacier Overlook to Swiftcurrent Mountain to Many Glacier Hotel - somewhere in the vacinity of 19 miles. awesome weather, spectacular views from the summit. Also ascended via Highline Trail to Swiftcurrent Pass and down to Many Glacier Hotel with a great group of friends on September 15, 2010. Peak #24 of the season! | |

| Summitted with climbing partners Tater, Cougar and Kitty. Cold and windy at the summit but the views are absolutely incredible! Well worth the 12.4 mile round trip from the Loop. | |

| Did this during a freakish heat wave. Temps were in the 90s at Many Glacier, so I started by 7am and didn't see anyone on the trail on the way up other than a trail crew, who gave me a set of binocs to check out two wolverines in the snowfields below the Swiftcurrent Glacier. Nobody was in the lookout that day, but the air was clear and the views were spectacular. | |

| Spent a beautiful day hiking from Many Glacier CG up to the Lookout and back - nice 16 mile RT. Views were a little hazy due to the fires but otherwise, perfect day! | |

| Did a quick afternoon trip up here, spent some time talking to the ranger in the lookout, who turned out to be a teacher, too. Visibility was poor because of smoke, but it was still an impressive view.. | |
