This peak of the Matanuska Valley is set midway between Anchorage and Glennallen, near mile 90 of the Glenn Highway.

[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Monument and Coal creeks, which are tributaries of the Matanuska River.

This mountain's toponym has not been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names, so it is only marked as "8645" on USGS maps.

[4] Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Chugach Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall.

This climate supports small unnamed glaciers and permanent snowfields on its slopes.
