Kootenai Peak (8,542 feet (2,604 m)) is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana.

[1][3] Kootenai Peak is in the northeastern section of Glacier National Park.

Like other mountains in Glacier National Park, it is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.

Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was initially uplifted beginning 170 million years ago when the Lewis Overthrust fault pushed an enormous slab of precambrian rocks 3 mi (4.8 km) thick, 50 miles (80 km) wide and 160 miles (260 km) long over younger rock of the cretaceous period.
