Description

Mount Siyeh has to be the Easiest Accessible 10,000' Peak in the Park. The views from the Summit are spectacular. Cracker Lake is 4.200' right below you. Logan's Pass is clearly recognizable, and the Prairies spread vastly out to the East. Start at the Piegan Pass/Siyeh Pass Trail Head. When the trail splits head towards Siyeh Pass. About .5 miles past the split head towards Mount Siyeh. There is a Large Cliff band at the base that is broken up by Drainage Gullies. Find the best gully and ascend through the cliff band. From here keep scrambling till near the summit. The summit is protected by cliffs, head to the west (left) to bypass the cliff band.
