Arthur Peak

About

Arthur Peak is a 3,650-foot (1, 113 m) elevation mountain summit located in the Coast Mountains in the U.S. state of Alaska. It is situated immediately east of Taku Harbor, and 25 mi (40 km) southeast of Juneau, on land managed by Tongass National Forest. Although modest in elevation, relief is significant since the peak rises up from tidewater of Limestone Inlet along Stephens Passage in 1.3 mi (2 km). Its nearest higher neighbor is Peak 3800, 1.85 mi (3 km) to the northeast. This geographic feature was named in 1888 by Lieutenant Commander C. M. Thomas of the U.S. Navy.
