Highest Summits

Hilgard Peak 11,316' Highest Peak In Montana Outside The Beartooth

Southwest Montana claims some of the highest peaks in the state… sentinels within accessible wild country. Most offer climbing routes for all abilities, from “hands in the pocket” to rope and climbing equipment-aided ascents. And for those who don't want to make it all the way to the pinnacle, routes to these summits offer beautiful treks, providing solitude and a wilderness experience.

Nearby towns serve as base camps, offering lodging and meals, and residents can provide advice on trails and weather conditions.
