There were some light rain showers as we made our way down the east side. That is the ever beautiful Heavens Peak.
Heavens Peak is the highest of four peaks that form the divide between Camas Creek and McDonald Creek at the head of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. It dominates the view west from much of the Going-to-the-Sun road and with its permanent snow is quite photogenic.
The descriptive name of this peak first appears on a map prepared by Lt. George P. Ahern of the 25th Infantry, from reconnaissance maps done in1888-1890.
Norman Clyde, Fred Herz, and Lee Stopple made the first recorded ascent of Heavens Peak via the North Ridge Route on 15 July 1924.
