MONTANA
Emigrant Peak 10,921'
I spent the summer of 2001 in Philipsburg, Montana.
Living right next to the Pintler Range of Southwestern Montana, there is
tremendous natural beauty. We lived across the road from a small
mountain we called "Huff-Puff"
due
to its steepness. The highpoint of Montana (Granite Peak) is a very
difficult climb. I did not attempt Granite Peak, but I look forward
to trying. I climbed a mountain in the Pintler Range called
Warren Peak. You can reach the Pintler Range by traveling
down I-90 toward Missoula until you hit Route 1. Then take Route
1 to rt-38(AKA-skalkaho pass) Take rt-38 for 9 miles until you get
to Moose Lake Road. Take Moose Lake Road 16 miles to the end of the
road, and the trailheads.
I also visited perhaps the most
beautiful national park in the United States. GLACIER NATIONAL PARK.
Take a look at some of the photos HERE.

In Montana I worked for a wonderful organization that provides information
on public officials and candidates for public office. The organization
is called PROJECT VOTE SMART.
I also have some pictures up of my fellow interns and I. Just click
