Lone Mountain (Montana)

Lone Mountain (11,167 feet (3,404 m)) is in the Madison Range in the U.S. state of Montana. The summit is located in Lee Metcalf Wilderness within Gallatin and Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forests. Lone Mountain is 16.63 mi (26.76 km) north of Koch Peak.

Geology

The mountain's rock is igneous in nature, but its magma did not reach the surface, so it is considered the laccolith rather than a true volcano.

Recreation

The east, north, and southern slopes of Lone Peak are occupied by Big Sky Resort.
