Featured Descent
Southeast Slope  
The approach to the south-east slope of James Peak is  most commonly done from fall river road, and the St. Mary's Glacier trailhead.  In the spring and summer once the road is clear you can drive up to just about a mile from the summit.  When the road is not open, you will follow the jeep road from the parking lot off of fall river road, and head up to the lake.  Go to the north side of the lake, up the glacier, then continue west up to the peak that you can see directly in front of you.  This is james peak, and the face that you are looking at is the southeast face.
