Montana Elevation Overview
Montana divides dramatically between the Rocky Mountains in the west – including Glacier National Park and Granite Peak at 12,799 ft – and the rolling High Plains in the east, where the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers cut through grasslands and badland formations. The Continental Divide runs through the western mountains.
