About Lewis Range

The Lewis Range is a prominent mountain range located in the northern Rocky Mountains of Montana. Spanning across Glacier National Park and the Flathead National Forest, this rugged and glaciated range is characterized by jagged peaks, deep valleys, and alpine meadows. The terrain is predominantly steep and rocky, with numerous cirques, glaciers, and high-altitude lakes dotting the landscape. The range's geology is dominated by ancient sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, including shale, limestone, and quartzite, which have been sculpted by glacial and erosional processes over time.
