Rising Wolf Mountain (9,513 ft / 2,900 m) is located in the Lewis Range in the U.S. state of Montana.[2] The peak is in the southeastern section of Glacier National Park and rises dramatically above the Two Medicine region. The Blackfeet consider the Two Medicine region of the park to be sacred ground and their name for the peak, "Mahkuyi-opuahsin", meaning, The way the wolf gets up, was later translated to the current name of the mountain.[3]
