Union Peak, Mountain summit in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, United States
Union Peak rises 7,709 feet above sea level, featuring a distinctive rock spire at its summit and steep slopes formed through volcanic processes.
The Nye expedition party named this peak in 1853 during their exploration of the region, expressing their allegiance to the Union cause.
The mountain serves as a training ground for mountaineers who practice technical climbing skills on its challenging rock formations throughout the year.
The 10-mile round trip hike to Union Peak follows the Pacific Crest Trail before branching onto a dedicated path with 2,333 feet of elevation gain.
The peak contains exposed volcanic plugs that survived glacial erosion, revealing geological layers dating back seven million years.
