Red Eagle Mountain


Red Eagle Mountain is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. Red Eagle Mountain rises more than above Saint Mary Lake and is easily seen from the Going-to-the-Sun Road and the entrance to the park from the village of St. Mary, Montana as well as at Rising Sun. The mountain was named according to James Willard Schultz, "by his Indian wife in 1887, for her uncle, Red Eagle, who had saved their son's life with his prayers to the Sun".
