Vigil Peak, Mountain summit in Glacier National Park, Montana, US
Vigil Peak is a mountain summit in the Lewis Range that reaches approximately 8,593 feet. Its steep rocky sides and distinctive outline can be spotted from Lake Isabel in the distance.
The mountain became part of Glacier National Park when the park was established in 1910. It has been part of this protected landscape ever since.
The name Vigil Peak reflects the Native American practice of using elevated points across the landscape for observation and communication purposes.
Climbers need intermediate to advanced skills to navigate the rock routes and exposed sections on the way up. The ascent demands concentration and experience on challenging terrain throughout.
The peak supports different plant communities at various elevations due to changes in climate and growing conditions. These zones shift distinctly as you move upward along the rocky slopes.
