By Bus: Northwest Montana is served by bus service.

By Rail: Amtrak arrives daily from Minneapolis or Seattle stops in East Glacier, Essex, West Glacier and Whitefish.

By Road: The major highways serving northwest Montana include U.S. Highway 2 running east and west and
Apgar Cam with Peaks Identified

Logan Pass Trails
Visit Montana running north to south are U. S. Highway 93 and Montana Highway 83. Glacier National Park is located 160 miles north of Interstate 90 which runs through the southwestern portion of Montana.

Rental cars can be secured in the Flathead Valley at and near Glacier International Airport. See Car Rentals in Montana.

Special Considerations: The rock in Glacier Park is widely varied and it is not unusual to find several different types of rock on any given route. Know your rocks and be certain of your safety. J. Gordon Edwards has an excellent section in his guidebook on rock and climbing safety. Be safe and know your limitations as well as those who are climbing with you. Also refer to the following links for further details: GNP Rock and Grading System and the GMS Climbing Guidelines.

Perhaps Robert Frost wrote it best in his poem, The Road Not Taken:


‘Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both …………………… I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.’

Return Routes or Routes to Other Areas/Peak:
Option I: Retrace your route to the unnamed peak and cruise down to the saddle. Summit and add another one to your Glacier Summit list.
Option II: A long walk along a goat trail to the south and west will eventually lead to Pass. From Pass follow the hiking trail to eventually arrive at highway. This would be an overnight trip and a back country camping permit would be required.
Option III: Return to the unnamed peak and follow the reverse route for Mount. The only tricky part here is getting off the summit dome. This is not difficult after down climbing through the first set of cliffs just south of the summit dome. Work down to the right then left through the scree filled slopes for about 90 feet of elevation loss and then scramble up the climber’s trail to the ridge between Mount. This map shows the route.
Option IV: Continue down the northeast slope of Mount to Mountain and summit it. As you summiton the summit. Follow the reverse route description found on the page.
