long haul with a big load. this was one of many peaks to climb along the gallatin crest backpack trip of 5 days and 50 miles. high head winds all the way, but pretty good weather otherwise.

Gallatin Traverse
Did a great traverse of the Gallatins from Porcupine Creek trailhead to Hyalite Creek trailhead in two days. Summited two named peaks, The Sentinel and Hyalite along the way.

Lovely
Lovely Peak. Beautiful approach with all the waterfalls.
It's great to see all that snow still up there. Snow the whole way from the lake up to the ridge. I climbed straight up the gut of the bowl using an ax and kicking steps. The glissade down was really fun.

Great Day Hike
Fun hike with alex, beautiful waterfalls and great view of surrounding ranges. If you live in Bozeman there is no excuses not to.

Nice Day Hike
Nice climb. We went later so we could watch the sunset on top of the peak. It was a long hike out in the dark

Part of the Devil's Backbone 50 miler
I did the 2005 Devil's Backbone 50 miler as a relay with my college friend Michael Wunsch. I did the first 25 mile leg and had to tag the top of this peak before continuing on the run.

First stop on Hyalite Ridge traverse
After summiting Hyalite Peak, traversed west around the ridge to Divide Peak and met up with the Squaw Creek trail to make a loop out of it. Some challenging terrain, but the scenery was more than worth it. Beautiful area.
This is one of my favorite hikes. Easy grade through beautiful forests.There are numerous waterfalls along the trail.
I first went up the trail in late May, 2004. There was snow on a good part of the trail. Turned back halfway up the switchbacks to the saddle as I was wearing tennis shoes, which naturally offered no traction at all on the steep snow.
Went back in July, 2005 for a snow-free hike to the top.

Nice climbIt was a beatiful hike. Lots of wildflowers. The only thing bad were the hordes of mosqitoes!
