Frog Heaven. On the south-central slope of the mountain, to 

 the west of Narada Falls. 



Frozen Lake. In the northern portion of the Park, just south 

 of Mount Fremont. 



Fryingpan Glacier. There are two conflicting theories about 

 this name. One is that some campers lost a frying pan in the river, 

 giving it that name, which was later extended to the glacier. The 

 other is that Professor I. C. Russell named the glacier from its 

 fancied resemblance to a frying pan, and that the name was 

 later extended to the river. On the east-central slope of the 

 mountain.

 with the beauties of Glacier Basin and the surrounding regions.
