Write Up:
Coordinator: Greg Notess It was a beautiful, blue-sky day with great views into Waterton and northern Glacier. From a pullout nine miles north of Chief Mountain customs, we took the unofficial but quite good trail south for about one and a half miles to the base of Sofa. We ascended the north ridge and made our way to the summit, past a surprised herd of sheep. From the broad summit, we descended a variant route taking the ridge to the northwest and down on the ridge on the other side of the valley to get back to the trail. Nine miles and 3,700-foot elevation gain. Larry Hiller, Cecelia Notess and Greg Notess.
