American Border Peak, Mountain summit in Mount Baker Wilderness, Washington, United States.
American Border Peak reaches an elevation of 7,998 feet with steep slopes and substantial local relief near the Canada-United States border.
The mountain witnessed its first documented climb on September 14, 1930, when four mountaineers, including Alec Dalgleish and Tom Fyles, reached the summit.
The mountain forms part of the North Cascades landscape, where Native American tribes developed hunting and gathering traditions across generations.
Climbers accessing the peak through Twin Lakes Approach require a Northwest Forest Pass and must carry proper equipment due to loose rock conditions.
The peak features a direct counterpart, Canadian Border Peak, connected by a high col that marks the international boundary between two nations.
