Mount Hay, also called Boundary Peak 167, rises on the Canada-United States border between Alaska and British Columbia in the Fairweather Range, a coastal part of the Saint Elias Mountains. Named in 1923 for American author and diplomat John Milton Hay, who lived from 1838 to 1905, the mountain is tied to the history of defining this international boundary. Hay took part in the 1903 treaty that led to the Alaska Boundary Tribunal, connecting the peak’s name to the settlement of the border running through this section of the range.
