Description
Mount Siyeh, with a height of 10,014 feet (3,052 meters),is one of six peaks over 10,000 feet high in Glacier National Park, Montana, United States. It is part of the Lewis Range of the Rocky Mountains.
Mount Siyeh was named after a Blackfoot Indian, Sai-yeh, whose name means "Crazy Dog" or "Mad Wolf."
Mount Siyeh stands about two miles east of the Continental Divide, within the watershed of the Saint Mary River, which drains into the Saskatchewan River, and ultimately into Hudson Bay.
Mount Siyeh is rather easily accessible from a variety of different routes. It can be ascended via a long scree scramble from the Preston Park area, or from Piegan Pass via Cataract Mountain. The summit can also be reached via a long hiking/mountaineering route dubbed the "Skyline Experience"; this route starts from the Many Glacier Hotel and involves 5.5-mile ridge walk and includes the summits of Wynn Mountain (8,404 ft.) and Cracker Peak (9,833 ft.) before reaching the top of Siyeh.
