Mount Cannon, Mountain summit in Glacier National Park, Montana, US
Mount Cannon reaches an elevation of 8,952 feet with three distinct summits spread across two miles of mountain terrain in Glacier National Park.
Norman Clyde completed the first recorded ascent of Mount Cannon's central summit on August 15, 1923, establishing the route via the East Ridge.
The mountain's name changed from Goat Mountain after Dr. Walter Bradford Cannon and his wife Cornelia placed a commemorative bottle during their 1901 climb.
Climbers access the summit through Logan Pass and Hidden Lake Trail, reaching Birdwoman Pass before navigating the southeast shoulder to the East Ridge.
In 1985, climbers James Best and Ted Steiner discovered the original bottle containing Dr. Cannon's climbing record and transferred it to National Park Service archives.
