Boulder Peak (8533feet) is located in the Livingston Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. The remnant Boulder Glacier is situated on the northern slopes of the mountain.[3]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Boulder Peak is located in a subarctic climate zone characterized by long, usually very cold winters, and short, cool to mild summers.[4] Winter temperatures can drop below -10F with wind chill factors below -30F
Boulder Peak 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 31NaN1 thick, 50miles wide and 160miles long over younger rock of the cretaceous period.[5]
