Haystack Butte
Haystack Butte comes in view around a blind curve on the Highline Trail. The sun broke out thru the clouds just then to light it up nicely.
Haystack Butte isn't very tall by Glacier Park standards (7486'/2282 meters), particularly with the backside of impressive Mt. Gould behind it along the Continental Divide, but it is a favorite destination for hikers, coming in halfway from Logan Pass and Granite Park Chalet, approximately 3.5 miles of easy walking.
The famous Weeping Wall is right below Haystack Butte where The Going To The Sun Road cuts across. During the early summer it provides a free car wash, and some grumbles by those in convertibles.
Thanks again for keeping me company on the Highline Trail. We're about halfway thru the images I'm going to post from this incredible trek.
Happy Friday!
