The Anaconda Range is a group of high mountains located in southwestern Montana, in the northwestern United States. It runs northeast approximately 50 miles (80 km) from Lost Trail Pass to a point near the community of Anaconda. To the north are the Sapphire Mountains, and Ravalli and Granite Counties. To the south is the Big Hole Valley and Beaverhead County. The crest of the range is part of the Continental Divide, rising to 10,793 feet (3290 m) at West Goat Peak. Other major summits include Mt. Evans (10,641 ft, 3243 m), Mt. Haggin (10,607 ft, 3233 m), Warren Peak (10,463 ft, 3189 m), and East Goat Peak (10,399 ft, 3170 m). West Pintler Peak, located in a more commonly visited area, rises to 9894 feet (2895 m). Much of the range is protected in the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness Area.
