Spearmint Spire, also known simply as Spearmint, is located 21 miles (34 km) north of Palmer, Alaska, in the Talkeetna Mountains and in the Hatcher Pass Management Area of the state park system.
[4] Precipitation runoff from this mountain's west slope drains into headwaters of the Little Susitna River, whereas the east side drains into headwaters of Moose Creek which is a tributary of the Matanuska River.
Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3,200 feet (975 meters) above Moose Creek in one mile (1.6 km).
The peak was named Spearmint Spire in 1968 by Curt and Gretchen Wagner who compared the granite tower to those in The Bugaboos.
This mountain's toponym has not been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.
