Old Baldy, Garnet Range High Point

Looking north at the Scapegoat from Old Baldy. Photo taken with my ancient cell phone.

Over President's Day weekend, I bagged Old Baldy, which is the highpoint of the Garnet Range and is also on the list of Montana peaks with 2000 feet or more of prominence. I got there by driving east of Drummond on I-90 and exiting at Phosphate (Exit 170), a few miles west of Garrison. Form there you drive north on a dirt road, which eventually turns into Brock Creek Road (see a map); Brock Creek drains the southern aspect of Old Baldy. I drove up the road until I started to get nervous about getting stuck and parked. The outing was 10 miles RT and relatively mellow for a P2000 peak. I got the terrible pictures you see here with my old-school cell phone (left my camera at home once again). They don't do justice to what was a beautiful day.
