Great Hike!
This was my first true summit hike! We saw 2 mountain goats! The hike up before the electric site is the most difficult part. Once you get to the ridge line it gets easier!

Aeneas
Busy trailhead but beautiful hike. We accidentally took the electric maintenance trail straight up the side of the mountain. Wouldn't recommend, but would recommend the Picnic Lakes Loop route.
Kyle, you might have been the person my wife and I had a brief chat with on the summit? You pointed out the all lady bugs on the foliage?

Spectacular views
Truly stunning views to GNP and down to Flathead Valley. Seeing a herd of mountain goats up close made it that much better

Good to be back
This mountain is a family favorite, but haven't been up in a while so it was good to be back. Unusually calm at summit, made it great for busting out the gnp map and identifying peaks.

Fun climb on warm day
Some huge cornices to be careful of but otherwise the snow seemed pretty safe, was very warm out, over 75 in the valley. Still around 5 feet of snowpack in east and north facing slopes, some south and west facing slopes are bare up to 6000 feet.

Aeneas
Started from Camp Misery and hiked the trail following the northwest ridge. It was smoky due to all of the wildfires in the area.

Trail 717
With Rebecca Lahr via Trail 717. Absolutely no views on top due to cloud cover. Continued on the trail down towards Picnic Lakes before looping out to the trailhead.

Mt. Aeneas
What a great climb. Ran into a goat too. It was definitely a hot one but such great views.

Halloween Hike
First peak in the Swans, was happy to summit with my girlfriend. Not much snow at the top, and great weather with clear views!

Had a great afternoon hike with Amy & the dogs. Up the trail on the NW Ridge, then over to Picnic Lakes for a pit stop before looping back to the car. Great hike, a classic for sure.

Busy Peak
Was in the area doing some snow/glacier travel training and decided to bag the peak. Great day to be out. Pass lots and lots of people on their way up to the top.
