Mount Carter, Summit in Livingston Range, Montana
Mount Carter rises to an elevation of 9,848 feet within Glacier National Park, featuring Rainbow Glacier to the south and Weasel Collar Glacier northeast.
The mountain received its name from Thomas H. Carter, who played an instrumental role in the development of Montana during the late nineteenth century.
