West and East St. Mary's Peak of the Mission Mountains on the Flathead Indian Reservation. They dominate the background driving up on the 93. (Not to be confused with Saint Mary's Peak of the Bitteroots)
If you'd like more about ascending these peaks here is the rundown by a 60 year old hiker who did this: " The 4-mile trek over the summit of ESM to the top of WSM gains about 5,500 feet of elevation, with most of that coming in the first 1.8 miles."
"About a mile into the hike that morning I decided to push myself really hard for several minutes. When I finally stopped to catch my breath I was startled by what sounded like an animal running very close by. After looking around, I realized that what I was hearing was the sound of my heart pounding!"
