Granite Peak (Montana) 8/6/16

We decided to go on a road trip this year and join Mark for a climb of the highest peak in Montana.
We drove through Yellowstone National Park to get to the trailhead.
 Mark, Jim, Chris, Ron (and Doug) at Lady of the Lake.  The first of many lakes on this trip.
The trail followed streams like this for much of the approach.
 This one is for our friend and flower photographer, David, who could not join us on this adventure.
 Our camp above Rough Lake.
 Looking down at the Sky Top Lakes valley.
 Doug, Ron and Chris on the 12,799' summit.  It rained and snowed while we were up there.  More rain, thunder and lighting was heading our way from Wyoming.
Looking back at the mountain while the sun was out for a little while.
