Description

The peak is situated approximately one mile southwest of the town of Cooke City, Montana, just outside the northeast corner of Yellowstone National Park. It is part of the Absaroka Range, and is within the North Absaroka Wilderness, on land managed by Shoshone National Forest. Topographic relief is significant as the north aspect rises over 2,600 feet (790 meters) above Cooke City in one mile. The nearest higher neighbor is Amphitheater Mountain, 2.5 miles to the southwest, and Pilot Peak is four miles to the southeast. [1] The mountain's name was officially adopted as Republic Peak in 1930 by the United States Board on Geographic Names, and officially changed to Republic Mountain by the board in 1959. [3]
