Appistoki Peak
Appistoki Peak () is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. Appistoki Peak, "was named by R. T. Evans, a topographer who worked on the early map of the park. It is reported that he inquired from his Indian guide what word the Blackfeet used for "looking over something," and the guide, misunderstanding the meaning of his question, gave him the name "Appistoki," for the Indian god who looks over everything and everyone." Appistoki Peak rises on the southeast shore of Two Medicine Lake and is a short distance north of Mount Henry.

Chief Mountain
Chief Mountain ('' Blackfoot: Ninaistako'') () is located in the U.S. state of Montana on the eastern border of Glacier National Park and the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. The mountain is one of the most prominent peaks and rock formations along the Rocky Mountain Front, a long overthrust fault, known as the Lewis Overthrust, which extends from central Montana into southern Alberta, Canada. The peak The peak is easily seen from Montana and Alberta due to the rapid altitude gain over the Great Plains which are immediately east of the mountain. Chief Mountain is an example of a klippe. It consists of a Precambrian block which rests directly above much younger Cretaceous gray shales. The 600 million year old Precambrian rocks are 400-500 million years older than the Cretaceous rocks at the base of the mountain. Having an older layer of rock juxtaposed atop younger basement rocks is found on occasion in thrust faults and is commonplace along the Lewis Overthrust whi ...

Caper Peak
Caper Peak () is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. Caper Peak is approximately NNW of Vigil Peak. Richard T. Evans, USGS topographer who worked on the early map of Glacier Park, named this mountain when he counted over 30 goats "capering" on this peak. (Caper: A leap; a skip or spring, as in dancing or mirth, or in the frolic of a kid or lamb.) Geology Like other mountains in Glacier National Park, the peak is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods. Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was initially uplifted beginning 170 million years ago when the Lewis Overthrust fault pushed an enormous slab of precambrian rocks thick, wide and long over younger rock of the cretaceous period. Climate Based on the Köppen climate classification, the peak is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers. Temperatures can drop below � ...

Calf Robe Mountain
Calf Robe Mountain is a mountain summit located in Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. It is situated on the Continental Divide in the Lewis Range, and can be seen from Highway 2 midway between Marias Pass and East Glacier Park. The summit is set on the border shared by Flathead County and Glacier County. Topographic relief is significant as the east aspect rises in one mile. The immediate area between the mountain and highway is known for its aspen and beaver dams. Etymology The mountain's name, which commemorates Calf Robe, member of the Blackfeet, was submitted by the National Park Service in 1939, and officially adopted in 1940 by the United States Board on Geographic Names. Legend has it that Calf Robe supposedly had a weird experience with a grizzly bear about 1870. Calf Robe was deserted by his fellow warriors in enemy country and left to die; but he was soon rescued by a grizzly bear, which brought him food and carried him to help. The grizzly ...
