Frazier Cirque

Montana > Southwest Region > Bridger Range > Ainger Lake

Description

A gorgeous cirque of limestone fins holding a few adventurous alpine climbing routes that sit above the ephemeral Frazier Lake.

Getting There

To approach, take the same trail to access Frazier Basin (or as listed on Mountain Project, Ainger Lake) from the parking lot but before you reach the crest of the ridge at the top of the meadow, stay to the left of the obvious strip of tress that sit in the middle of the saddle that forms the ridge of the basin. After dropping into the basin, the beautiful and obvious cirque is on your left.
