Peril Peak

Peril Peak is a mountain summit in the Lewis Range featuring sheer rock walls and exposed ridges throughout its terrain. The peak rises dramatically from surrounding valleys, creating a distinctive rocky profile within Glacier National Park.

The peak derives its name from the hazardous climbing conditions found on its slopes. It sits within Glacier National Park, established to protect the region's alpine landscape and mountain ecosystems from the early 1900s onward.

The peak serves as a significant geographical marker within Glacier National Park, contributing to Montana's natural heritage and outdoor recreation opportunities.

The climb involves scrambling over exposed terrain and rocky sections that require good footing and balance. Start early and be prepared to turn back if weather deteriorates or if snow and ice are still present on the route.
