[Rocky Mountain Range](http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/fseprd499846.jpg) The Rocky Mountain Range is located in portions of Teton, Pondera, Glacier, and Lewis and Clark counties. The geographic area is bordered by U.S. Highway 2 and Glacier National Park to the north. The Blackfeet Nation lands are to the northeast. The east and southeast are bordered by state, private, and BLM lands. The Upper Blackfoot Geographic Area is to the south. The continental divide and Flathead National Forest are to the west. A large portion of the Rocky Mountain Range Geographic Area is designated wilderness and includes parts of the Scapegoat and Bob Marshall Wilderness areas. More information on the Rocky Mountain Range Bears may frequent the area; keep all food out of sight in approved containers and remove all food from area after eating. Mandatory food storage is required.
Great hike. I used AllTrails to gauge how much time to take but that was a mistake. I love AllTrails, but not in this case. The outlined path was unrealistic. I plan on doing this trail again, but I will allow at least 5 hours to get to the peak. Ran out of time on this last attempt even though I was about 0.4 miles horizontal (but 700 feet vertical) from the top.
With a number of interesting ways to climb it and unbelievable views in every direction, Rocky Mountain is a classic! I will not forget this lovely peak. 12/10 for sure.
