After Dakota Hill, we worked our way over to Kingston Peak. At 12073 ft, it’s above the tree line. The temperature on top was in the 40’s with about a 40+mph wind. The road was very narrow and strewn with rocks, definitely not a road I would want to take a car through.
Actually, we weren’t even on a road if you believed what the GPS was telling me. It only showed a trail the ended abruptly at the top and did not continue down the other side like we did.

We saw a couple of herd of Elk and St. Mary’s Glacier in the distance, but because we left camp later than planned, it unfortunately resulted in not having enough daylight to actually go to the glacier. Our average speed on the road was about 2mph. It was already after 7PM when we crested the 12073 foot mark and our main concern at that point was to get off the mountain before dark.

Towards the end of the Trail, Tom called on the CB that his truck was making some noises. Upon further inspection, we discovered that the Axle Joints were shot. Since it only made noise under load in 4-wheel drive, we had him shift into 2wd and drive it back to the campground like that. He’ll try to fix it tomorrow.
