Grinnell Point
Grinnell Point (7,604 feet (2,318 m)) is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana.[3] Grinnell Point is an oft-photographed mountain, situated conspicuously just west of Swiftcurrent Lake across from the Many Glacier Hotel. Grinnell Point is a subpeak of Mount Grinnell, which lies .21 mi (0.34 km) to the west-southwest and is oftentimes misidentified as Mount Grinnell since that summit cannot be seen from the roads in the Many Glacier region.[1] Grinnell Point is named for George Bird Grinnell.
