Review:
Triple Divide Peak is a 8,020-foot mountain located in the Lewis Range, part of the Rocky Mountains and Glacier National Park. The Continental Divide runs through these mountains, creating a maritime and continental climate, with an incredible diversity of flora and fauna. The name Triple Divide means that the waters running down from the peak’s sedimentary soil can end up in three different oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, or Arctic Oceans, separated by thousands of miles. It takes about 2 days for the 16-mile out-and-back climb to the top, with almost 3,000 feet of climbing. From the Cut Bank trailhead, the trail goes up gradually along Cut Bank Creek. It continues to climb steadily without switchbacks across the sheer flanks of 9,375-foot Mount James. If you look south toward the Triple Divide Pass, you will see the gorgeous sapphire-blue Medicine Grizzly lake.
