Nature
Lata Mountain is the summit of Taʻū in the Manuʻa Islands and the highest point in American Samoa. On one of the territory’s most remote inhabited islands, it holds notable geographic importance despite the area’s limited development. The summit is most readily reached by a 2.5-mile, or 4.0-kilometre, trail maintained by the National Park Service. That route connects the mountain with the protected landscape of Taʻū and allows access to the territory’s highest summit on foot rather than by technical climbing.
