Walton Mountain, Mountain summit in Glacier National Park, Montana, US
Walton Mountain rises to an elevation of 8,926 feet in the Lewis Range, featuring two unnamed hanging glaciers on its eastern and northeastern faces.
The mountain remained unclimbed until July 1974, when Paul Jensen, Mavis Lorenz, Tom Shreve, and Allen Smith completed the first documented ascent.
The mountain forms part of the Glacier-Waterton International Peace Park Summit List, ranking number 65 among the significant peaks in this protected region.
Access to Walton Mountain requires proper climbing equipment and navigation skills, with Harrison Glacier serving as the primary approach route for mountaineers.
The mountain maintains an isolation distance of 1.1 miles from Mount Jackson, with two hanging glaciers contributing to its geological characteristics.
