Citadel Peaks is a mountain ridge located in the Goat Haunt area of Glacier National Park, in Glacier County of the U.S. state of Montana.[2] This arête with a row of sharp points is part of the Livingston Range, and is approximately four miles east of the Continental Divide.[5] Neighbors include Olson Mountain, two miles (3.2 km) to the north, Mount Cleveland four miles (6.4 km) to the east, and Kootenai Peak 2.7 miles (4.3 km) to the south. Topographic relief is significant as Citadel Peaks rises over 3,800 feet (1,200 meters) above Waterton Lake in less than two miles, and 3,000 feet (910 meters) above Lake Janet in one mile. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains to the south end of Waterton Lake. The first ascent of Citadel Spire, a major pinnacle on the ridge, was made in 1967 by Jerry Kanzler, Jim Kanzler, Ray Martin, and Clare Pogreba.[6] This geographical feature's name was officially adopted in 1929 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[2] To the Pikuni people, Citadel Peaks is known as "Ataniawxis", meaning "The Needles".[7]
