Mount Verstovia is a prominent peak located just 2.6 miles east of the center of Sitka, Alaska, on Baranof Island, Alexander Archipelago.

Gora translates to "mount" in Russian and verst refers to a unit of measurement equaling 0.6629 miles (or 3,500 feet), which closely resembles the actual height of Mt.

In hopes of avoiding confusion, modern USGS maps now name an entirely different peak approximately eight miles to the southeast as "Cross Mountain".

Mount Verstovia is accessible by a well-maintained public trail that, departs from Jamestown Bay and after 1.8 miles of switchbacks, arrives at the top of "Picnic Rock" (USGS 2,550').

[6][7] Snowboarding, skiing, and other winter sports are very popular in the bowl nestled between "Picnic Rock" and Mount Verstovia.
