and continuing in the line of the Pano, here is Red Mountain. from summitpost.org: At 9,377 feet, Red Mountain is one of the tallest peaks east of the Continental Divide in Glacier National Park. Sitting in Rising Wolf’s shadow, and curiously omitted from Gordon Edwards' exhaustive A Climber’s Guide to Glacier National Park, Red undoubtedly sees less climber traffic than the other sentinels of the east side.
It is a massive hulk of rock. Its long red ridge stretches for several miles from east to west, straddling the divide between the beautiful Dry Fork Creek and Lost Creek drainages. Those that venture to the top will tell tales of interesting rock formations, enjoyable route finding, and inspiring views of glaciers, deep blue lakes and the Great Plains stretching out to nowhere and everywhere to the east. With a rainbow of sedimentary rock colors comprising Glacier’s crumbly peaks, there are many red mountains… but there is only one Red Mountain.
