Journal R.E.Johnson 1968 Aug.5 Missoula & vicinity, Montana be from the nearest point on Mormon Creek Rd. With a jeep however one can apparently go all the way to upper Carlton Lake which is only a mile (+1000 ft elevation) from Lolo Peak. I returned to the highway (US 93) & drove north to Lolo & took the road (1t.) toward Lolo Pass, to the take off point of the dirt road to Mormon Lookout (10 miles). This was followed to a saddle between Lolo Ph and Mormon Ph (1.5 miles from Mormon Ph). I drove on to the lookout to check on the route. The lookout (a Beth something) said to follow Mill Creek trail from the previously mentioned saddle until I encountered a cleared steep slope (a huge run) leading up slope to the left. Follow the huge run to its top & beyond (following trail blases, red flagging & occasional trail rutts).to the ridge top. From there the ridge top is followed west through open Timber to timberline & up & over the 1st peak. Lolo peak lies beyond this a short ways. I returned to Univ. of Montana and skinned birds, then attended a Zoology Dept picnic held in Patter Canyon. Aug 6. Lolo Peak, Butterroot Mtms, Montana Hiked to Lolo Peak via Mormon Lookout route, Mill Creek Trail, etc. I examined the cliffs (north & east facing) of the 1st peak.
