Mount Furuhelm, Mountain summit on Baranof Island, Alaska, United States.
Mount Furuhelm rises to 2,520 feet above sea level, featuring dense forests at its base and exposed rock formations near the summit.
The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey officially designated Mount Furuhelm as a navigational reference point during mapping expeditions in 1943.
The Tlingit peoples maintain traditional connections to the mountain's surroundings through seasonal hunting and gathering practices in the Tongass National Forest.
Hikers accessing Mount Furuhelm require sturdy footwear, navigation equipment, and weather-appropriate gear due to frequent rain and changing conditions.
The mountain's position offers unobstructed views across Chatham Strait, encompassing both the waters of the Inside Passage and neighboring island chains.
