- Description:
- After a weekend of driving and road closures, I decided to play it
safe on Sunday and just return to Scotchman Peak for a good workout.
I had some errands to run in the afternoon anyway and needed to be back
in Sandpoint at a reasonable time. Despite having hiked this peak
twice before, I still enjoyed the trip and scenery. I made the
summit in 2 hours and spent 50 minutes on top. The round trip time
was 4 hours and 30 minutes, so I only picked up 20 minutes on the
descent which took me 1 hour and 40 minutes.

- Photographs:
- After making several trips into the mountains, the
H3 was finally getting a little character.
- Summit views to the northeast of Blacktop
Mountain which is in the distance left and center.
- Lake Pend Oreille with Goat Mountain
in the foreground.
- Looking down towards Lake Pend Oreille and
Clark Fork, ID.
- A large rock hut which hikers built
right below the summit of Scotchman Peak.
- The first real good view of Scotchman Peak
during the entire hike. At this point, you are about 15 to 20
minutes away from the summit.
- I'm not positive, but I think this is
Scotchman Peak from the road to the trailhead.
