MOUNT CARTHEW Elevation: 2630m Difficulty: Easy Round Trip Time: 4-6 hours Height Gain: 1000 m Map: 82 G/1 Sage Creek |
Though more of a plod than a scramble, Mount Carthew is sometimes ascended by day-trippers hiking Carthew-Alderson trail or as a destination in itself. The ascent is a minor but worthwhile diversion from the trail. From the top you can wistfully study more impressive summits in nearby Glacier Park and a choice of two routes up offer variety. Try from late June on. |

From the trail above tiny Summit Lake switch-backing trails are easily seen in the red argillite leading up to the false summit of Mount Carthew. The true summit lies nearly a kilometer north of the peak seen here. |
