Mount Vaught, Mountain summit in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States.
Mount Vaught rises to an elevation of 8,850 feet within the Livingston Range, positioned three miles north of Lake McDonald's inlet.
Lawrence O. Vaught, an Illinois attorney, contributed to establishing Glacier National Park through negotiations with the Blackfoot Nation in the late 1800s.
The Kootenai Indians named this mountain 'Big Old Man' before it received its current designation in honor of L.O. Vaught.
The summit trek requires a 6.5-mile hike from the trailhead, with climbers needing bear spray, water supplies, and sturdy footwear.
The mountain forms part of a four-peak chain above McDonald Creek, connecting with Stanton Mountain, McPartland Mountain, and Heaven's Peak.
