Quadrant Mountain

Quadrant Mountain is a summit in the southern Gallatin Range within Yellowstone National Park, rising to 10,217 feet (3,113 meters). The peak is characterized by steep rock faces and alpine meadows that dominate the surrounding terrain.

The mountain received official recognition and naming from the US Board on Geographic Names in 1930. This designation established it as a defined geographic landmark within Yellowstone's mapped features.

Native American tribes utilized the lands surrounding Quadrant Mountain for generations as hunting grounds before the establishment of Yellowstone National Park.

Visitors need sturdy footwear, navigation tools, and plenty of water since high-altitude conditions are demanding. Weather can shift rapidly at this elevation, so layered clothing and protection from the elements are necessary.

The northeast face displays a near-vertical rise of about 3,700 feet (1,128 meters) above the Green River within a very short horizontal distance. This creates one of the region's most striking and sudden elevation changes.
