and so I zoom in and based on satellite those white snow patches are on Cleveland so I would essentially be zooming over the lower Citadel Peaks if this is Cleveland. Gotta love those stubby rocks on that ridge. from Summitpost.org: Mt. Cleveland is the highest peak in Glacier National Park. It is situated on the north side of the park about four miles south of the Canadian Border. The views and sense of wilderness are unsurpassable: I've never stepped in Grizzly Bear poop on the top of another mountain. Although technically easy, it is still very fun and challenging. In "A Climber's Guide to Glacier National Park," Gordon Edwards describes it as follows:
The climax of the Northern Lewis Range in Glacier National Park is Mt. Cleveland, the highest peak in the Northern Rockies of the US. The Sierra Club who placed the register on the summit in 1924 indicated the nature of the climb by writing in their 1925 Bulletin that their consensus was "That the ascent of Mt. Cleveland involves all the difficulties and hardships of the Red Kaweah, Mt. Whitney, and Mt. Shasta combined."
Although Mt. Cleveland is only a little higher than several other peaks in GNP, the summit views impart a feeling that you are vastly above everything else. To the north, south, and west lie all the giants of the Rockies of British Columbia, Alberta, and Montana.
