Boulder Peak

Boulder Peak is a mountain summit in Glacier National Park that reaches 8,528 feet and offers direct views of Pocket Lake, Kinnerly Peak, and surrounding ranges. The peak crowns a rocky landscape shaped by alpine glacial features.

Boulder Pass served as a critical passage through the mountains, connecting travelers between northern Montana and Canadian territories historically. This route enabled movement between distant regions for centuries.

The peak stands within lands where indigenous peoples hunted and gathered seasonally for generations. These practices shaped the rhythm of life in these mountains for centuries.

The route from Kintla Lake to this summit is challenging and requires advanced mountain skills and proper gear for a safe ascent. Hikers should be well-prepared with good endurance and experience in mountainous terrain.

Boulder Pass campsite sits at 7,600 feet and is the highest backcountry camping location within the entire park. From this exceptional elevation, visitors can experience views that stretch across immense distances on clear days.
