McDonald Peak, Mountain summit in Mission Range, Montana, US
McDonald Peak rises to 9,820 feet in elevation, standing as the highest point within the Mission Mountains range of northwestern Montana.
The peak's geological structure emerged through extensive glacial activity, which shaped the southern sections of the Mission Range more intensely than the northern portions.
The mountain sits within the Flathead Indian Reservation, where the Salish-Kootenai people maintain jurisdiction over access and conservation protocols.
Climbers must obtain a Flathead Reservation permit and can only access the peak outside the July 15 to September 30 period due to grizzly bear activity.
The summit holds the second-highest topographic prominence in Montana, measuring 5,640 feet from its base to peak elevation.
