The story
Mount Doody (8,644–8,684 feet (2,635–2,647 m)) is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. Mount Doody is astride the same ridgeline as the Cloudcroft Peaks which are to the immediate northeast. Dan Doody was one of the first six rangers at Glacier National Park. Doody patrolled the Middle Fork drainages, using his own homestead as a headquarters. Later, because of his recognized hunting abilities, Doody became a park hunter skilled at removing "undesirable" wildlife from the area.
