Clements Mountain (8,760 feet (2,670 m)) is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana[1][2] Clements Mountain rises to the west of Logan Pass and above the Hidden Lake Trail which leads to Hidden Lake just west of the continental divide. The peak was named after Walter M. Clements who had worked to set up a treaty between the Blackfeet and the U.S. Government for the purchase of tribal lands east of the continental divide which later became part of the park.[4]
