Mount Cleveland
Mount Cleveland, Montana.
Lewis Range
mountain range, North America
Lewis Range, segment of the northern Rockies, extending south-southeastward for 160 miles (260 km) from the Alberta, Can., border, near Waterton Lake, to the Blackfoot River in northwestern Montana, U.S. Many peaks exceed 10,000 feet (3,000 m), with Mount Cleveland (10,479 feet [3,194 m]) being the highest point. The northern portion of the range is within the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, while most of the remainder is included in the Flathead and Lewis and Clark national forests and the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area. Marias Pass (5,216 feet [1,590 m]) is crossed by rail and highway. Tourism is promoted in the park area, but development in the southern portions of the range is restricted by their inaccessibility.
