2024 Map of Kintla Peak

About this map

Glacier National Park encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Flathead Co, where the continental divide terrain is defined by massive peaks and active glacial systems. The topography is dominated by the elevations of Kintla Peak and Kinnerly Peak, which tower over deep basins holding Upper Kintla Lake and Akokala Lake. The map reveals a complex network of ice and water, including the Kintla Glacier, Agassiz Glacier, and Harris Glacier, which feed drainage systems like Kintla Creek and Agassiz Creek. Long-distance wilderness routes provide the primary access to this backcountry, specifically the Boulder Pass Trl and the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl. Smaller water bodies like Long Bow Lake and Numa Lake lie tucked beneath the steep slopes of Reuter Peak and Numa Peak, illustrating the classic glacial staircase formation characteristic of the northern Rockies.
