Description

Divide Mountain is the White Pyramid shaped Peak seen from St. Mary area. It's a relatively easy scramble. Especially considering the St Mary fire of 2005 burned most the forests in the area. Loggers came in to clear the dead trees and left roads that lead right to the base of the Peak. We hiked to the North East ridge from the roads and scrambled up there to an Old Fire lookout. From there is a well-worn climbers trail to the summit. J. Gordan Edwards the"Patron Saint of Climbing" in the Park, passed away from a heart attack on this Mountain in 2004 while Climbing it. He was still Climbing when he was 84 years old.
