Another day ride we take each summer is to the top of standard peak. Many times we’ve attempted this ride only to be turned back by storms or deadfall, but this year both the trail and the weather were great.
You can access this trailhead quite high on the mountain resulting in a short somewhat steep 3 mile ride, or you can opt for a longer route following a old FS road that requires a short bushwhack up to the main trail. Connie doesn’t like the bushwhack so we took the main trail on this trip.
The views from up on this peak are spectacular. Not the massive peaks that you have in glacier, but 360 degree views that you can attain with a short day ride or hike.
A little off the beaten path and not the popular glacier park area, but these mountains in the whitefish range have their own special beauty.
