Kintla Peak, Mountain summit in Glacier National Park, Montana, US.
Kintla Peak rises to 3,079 meters within the Livingston Range, featuring a pyramidal shape and steep rocky slopes leading to its pointed summit.
The mountain contains Precambrian rock formations from the Mesoproterozoic era, part of the ancient Belt Supergroup that shaped the regional geology.
The name originates from Kootenai language, referring to a legend about a lake that acted like a sack, trapping those who entered its waters.
Reaching the mountain base requires a 24-kilometer hike from the nearest road, with technical climbing routes ranging from Class 3 to Class 4.
This mountain stands as the northernmost point above 3,000 meters in the continuous United States, with Agassiz Glacier flowing beneath its southeastern face.
