It has been suggested that Mount Stilwell was named after geologist Frank Leslie Stillwell[3] however no evidence for this can be found and the mountain is officially spelled "Stilwell".[4]

There is a trig station on the mountain which was erected in 1952.[2]

The Mount Stilwell Walk commences to the left of the toilet block at Charlotte Pass and ends at the summit of the mountain. From the peak there are views of the rocky peaks of Kosciuszko National Park's Main Range.[5]
