Download or read book Summits and Ridge Walks Around the Flathead written by Stormy Good Monod and published by . This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summit & Ridge Walks Around the Flathead (first edition) arose from the idea of providing experienced hikers with more challenging outings in beautiful Northwest Montana while also fostering an appreciation for our wild places; it is a natural extension to Day Hikes Around the Flathead, which has been in print since 1999. The outings described in this book are not technical ascents of peaks but are "mild scrambles" or "peak bags" that can be "done in a day" and are found on or adjacent to existing hiking trails. In some cases, it will mean loose rock, cliffs and/or rock outcroppings will exist, and route finding will be necessary. Area covered includes the Galton Range, the Whitefish Range, Glacier National Park, Marias Pass area, the Great Bear Wilderness, the Swan Crest, the Mission Mountains and the Salish Range, all which form the collective mountainous region around the greater Flathead Valley in northwest Montana. Dr. Lex Blood and Judith Pressmar complement the book by providing an educational geological background explaining the underlying structure and landscape of present day northwest Montana.
