Mount Kipp () is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana.[ Through The Years In Glacier National Park An Administrative History, NPS.gov]
Geology
Like other mountains in Glacier National Park, the 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 thick, wide and long over younger rock of the
cretaceous period.
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, the peak is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers.
Temperatures can drop below −10 °F with wind chill factors below −30 °F.
