Mount James

Mount James (9,380 feet (2,859 m)) is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana.

[1][3] Mount James is 1.35 miles (2.17 km) northeast of Triple Divide Peak.

James 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.

James is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone characterized by long, usually very cold winters, and short, cool to mild summers.
