Scotchman Peak - 7009'

This Sunday I hiked with six other gentleman up to Scotchman Peak near the Idaho-Montana border. We gained 3700' in 3.5 miles. It didn't seem as difficult a climb on the way up but our opinions changed on the way back down with the heat! My Quads and calves are still sore 72 hours later!
This is the gap where the ice dam repeatedly formed that created Glacial Lake Missoula. When it melted and broke we had the famous Ice Age Floods.
