A closer look at Garfield Mountain and the Lima Peaks (West and East).
Oriented in an east to west direction and carrying the Montana-Idaho border and the Continental Divide, several of their summits exceed 10,000 feet. Garfield Mountain is the highest at 10,961 feet.
About 20 miles of the Continental Divide Trail winds along the southern perimeter of the peaks. Access to CD Trailheads can be found along Forest Road 1079 or the Sawmill Trailhead Road as it is also known. Another spur off of this road is Shineberger. This trailhead is popular with hikers as it lies directly on the Continental Divide Trail and is used as a resupply point and an excellent camp spot with good water.
