The story

Calf Robe Mountain is a 7,948-foot-elevation (2,423-meter) mountain summit located in Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. It is situated on the Continental Divide in the Lewis Range, and can be seen from Highway 2 midway between Marias Pass and East Glacier Park. The summit is set on the border shared by Flathead County and Glacier County. Topographic relief is significant as the east aspect rises 2,500 feet (760 meters) in one mile. The immediate area between the mountain and highway is known for its aspen and beaver dams.
