7:15 PM LOCAL TIMEElectric Peak rises above 10,000 feet (3,100 m) on the Canada–U.S. border, forming a dramatic focal point near Many Glacier in Glacier National Park. The peak is part of the larger International Peace Park region, linking protected areas across the border. Approaches typically start from the Many Glacier valley or crossing from the Canadian side via high routes, and routes involve glacier travel, rock scrambling, and alpine snowfield crossing. The summit offers panoramic views across the Continental Divide and neighboring high peaks—nearby landmarks include Crystal Glacier, Red Eagle Glacier, and Bearhat Mountain. Visitors come for multi-day mountaineering, spring ski tours, and cross-border ridge routes—demanding good fitness, proper equipment, and solid mountaineering skills. Because of the high elevation and glacier presence, routes can change with snowpack and weather, making route-finding and timing crucial for safe travel.
