Heavens Peak, Mountain summit in Flathead County, United States.
Heavens Peak is a mountain summit in the Livingston Range within Glacier National Park, Montana. The lower slopes are covered in forest while the upper sections are steep and rocky, giving the peak a clear profile when seen from the valleys below.
The peak was first mapped by Lieutenant George P. Ahern between 1888 and 1890, during early survey expeditions through the northern Rockies. It received its official name from the United States Board on Geographic Names in 1929, as part of a wider effort to formalize place names across the region.
The name Heavens Peak was already descriptive when it appeared on Lieutenant George P. Ahern's reconnaissance maps of 1888–1890, and the United States Board on Geographic Names adopted it officially in 1929. The peak stands in the Livingston Range, just over 1 mile (1.6 km) north of McPartland Mountain, and is climbed for its position above the Glacier National Park valleys.
Reaching the summit demands good physical condition and experience with off-trail terrain, as the route involves steep and rocky sections. The area is bear country, so visitors should take standard precautions and check current trail conditions before setting out.
