Mahtotopa Mountain Mahtotopa Mountain (8677 ft ) is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. Mahtotopa Mountain rises to the south above Saint Mary Lake midway between Red Eagle Mountain and Little Chief Mountain and can be easily seen from the Going-to-the-Sun Road to the southwest of Rising Sun. Originally named "Four Bears Mountain" by George Bird Grinnell in 1885, the name was changed in 1932 to Mahtotopa. "Mahtotopa" is an incorrect spelling of "Mato-tope", the Mandan chief known as "Four Bears". Mato-tope was a grandfather of Joe Kipp, a hunting companion of Grinnell.
