Caper Peak, Mountain summit in Glacier National Park, Montana, US.
Caper Peak rises to an elevation of 8,268 feet in the Lewis Range, standing 1.4 miles northwest of Vigil Peak within Glacier National Park.
USGS topographer Richard T. Evans named this mountain after observing a group of thirty mountain goats jumping across its rocky surface.
The peak represents a significant geological formation from the Precambrian period, with sedimentary rocks pushed upward through the Lewis Overthrust fault system.
The mountain experiences temperatures below -10°F during winter months, requiring mountaineers to bring specialized cold weather equipment for safe climbing conditions.
Within Flathead County, Caper Peak ranks as the 83rd highest peak among 382 summits and maintains the 71st position in prominence within Glacier National Park.
