Mount Jackson (Montana) Mount Jackson (10,052 feet (3,064Â m)) is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana.[3] Mount Jackson is the fourth tallest mountain in Glacier National Park and it is situated on the Continental Divide. Both the mountain and its namesake Jackson Glacier are easily seen from the Going-to-the-Sun Road. On the southern flanks of Mount Jackson is Harrison Glacier, the largest remaining glacier in the park.[1] Route Descriptions can be found on Summitpost or in "A Climbers Guide to Glacier National Park.
Pike expedition On November 15, Pike recorded the first sight of the distant mountain he called "Grand Peak".[7] It has since been called Pikes Peak in his honor. Pike tried to climb the peak, hoping to get a view of the surrounding area to record on maps, the 14,000-foot summit. Pike's group ascended a lesser summit nearbyâ€”likely Mount Miller, which was named for Theodore Miller, one of the soldiers who accompanied Pike.[8] With winter threatening, Pike pressed onward up the Arkansas, and on December 7 the party reached Royal Gorge, a spectacular canyon on the Arkansas at the base of the Rocky Mountains.
