Rock Candy Mountain, Montana - 30 August 2021

Submitted by K7VK on
Summit

Rock Candy Mountain is an old US Forest Service Lookout site. The summit views are great with cliff cirque basins full of chipmunks, golden-mantle squirrels and chirping pikas, and distant high peaks of the Cabinets Mountains to the south, the Selkirk Mountains to the west and into Canada to the North. Part of the summit is trashy with remnant Lookout debris, rusting metal, wire and much broken glass.  A concrete footing at the Lookout is dated 1932.
