Mount Chittenden, elevation 10,182 feet (3,103 m), is a mountain peak in the Absaroka Range in Yellowstone National Park.
The peak was named by Henry Gannett of the Hayden Geological Survey of 1878 for George B. Chittenden, a surveyor who had worked with Gannett, Hayden and others in surveys in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
Chittenden never participated in any of the Yellowstone surveys.
[3] Mount Chittenden was not named for Major Hiram M. Chittenden, the U.S. Army Engineer famous for his road and bridge work in the park.
