Mount Pinchot is a 9,315-foot mountain in the Lewis Range of Glacier National Park in Montana, located just south-southeast of Mount Stimson with Beaver Woman Lake nearby to the southeast. Its significance lies in its name, which honors Gifford Pinchot, a pioneering forester who helped organize the United States Forest Service and later led it as chief. The name was officially approved by the United States Geographic Board on March 6, 1929, linking the mountain to the early history of American conservation and forestry administration.
