Mount Rockwell (9,277 feet (2,828 m)) is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana.[1][3] Mount Rockwell is situated along the Continental Divide and Aurice Lake is just west of the peak. A Blackfeet name for the mountain is "Rising Bull Mountain."[4] It was named for a Blackfeet chief who, after staying with the Flathead people of his wife for a number of winters, was appointed one of their chiefs for his bravery and his kind and generous nature.[4]
