I think this is Mount Stimson, second largest peak in GNP and is named after Henry L. Stimson, the United States Secretary of War during World War 2 who hiked and assisted George Bird Grinnell survey the area in and around Glacier National Park in the 1890s, and supported efforts to establish the national park.
Although the peak looks flat topped from some directions, the summit is actually a long ridge which is only about 2 yards wide in most places. Every thing else about this peak is epically large. Its northwest face rises 6,300 feet above Nyack Creek in a single stroke, making it one of the tallest faces in the country. Nyack Creek separates Stimson and its sister peak Mount Pinchot from the continental divide to the east. The two peaks are connected by a low saddle.
