Nature
Sky Top Glacier is a small glacier in Montana’s Beartooth Mountains, lying in a high cirque about 11,600 feet west of Granite Peak, the state’s highest mountain. Covering about 25 acres, it ends near a small proglacial lake. Its importance lies chiefly in its dramatic setting within a rugged basin carved by earlier glacial erosion, close to Montana’s loftiest summit. Though modest in size, it remains a notable part of the Beartooths’ high-mountain landscape and one of the glaciers associated with the Granite Peak area.
