Matahpi Peak (9370feet) is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana.[1] [3] Below the summit of Matahpi Peak lies Sexton Glacier. Going-to-the-Sun Mountain is just over 1miles to the south of Matahpi Peak.
Like other mountains in Glacier National Park, Matahpi 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.[4]
