Lone Mountain (11,167 feet (3,404 m)) is in the Madison Range in the U.S. state of Montana. The summit is located in Lee Metcalf Wilderness within Gallatin and Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forests.[1][3] Lone Mountain is 16.63 mi (26.76 km) north of Koch Peak.[1]

Geology

The mountain's rock is igneous in nature, but its magma did not reach the surface, so it is considered the laccolith rather than a true volcano.
