'''Mount Henkel''' ({{convert|8774|ft|m|0}}) is located in the [Lewis Range](/source/Lewis_Range), [Glacier National Park](/source/Glacier_National_Park_(US)) in the [U.S. state](/source/U.S._state) of [Montana](/source/Montana).<ref name=topo>{{Cite map|publisher=TopoQwest (United States Geological Survey Maps)|title=Mount Henkel, MT|url=https://www.topoquest.com/map.php?lat=48.82165&lon=-113.68344&datum=nad83&zoom=4&cross=on|accessdate=June 15, 2018}}</ref> [Kennedy Lake](/source/Kennedy_Lake_(Glacier_County%2C_Montana)) is just to the north of the mountain.

==Geology==
Like other mountains in Glacier National Park, the peak is composed of [sedimentary rock](/source/sedimentary_rock) laid down during the [Precambrian](/source/Precambrian) to [Jurassic](/source/Jurassic) periods. Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was initially uplifted beginning 170&nbsp;million years ago when the [Lewis Overthrust](/source/Lewis_Overthrust) fault pushed an enormous slab of [precambrian](/source/precambrian) rocks {{convert|3|mi|km|1|abbr=on}} thick, {{convert|50|mi|km}} wide and {{convert|160|mi|km}} long over younger rock of the [cretaceous](/source/cretaceous) period.<ref name=gadd>{{cite journal|title=Geology of the Rocky Mountains and Columbias |author=Gadd, Ben |year=2008}}</ref>

==Climate==
Based on the [Köppen climate classification](/source/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification), the peak is located in an alpine [subarctic climate](/source/subarctic_climate) zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers.<ref name=KGcc2007>{{Cite Köppen-Geiger cc 2007}}</ref> Temperatures can drop below −10&nbsp;°F with wind chill factors below −30&nbsp;°F.
