Peak 5390

Nature
Peak 5390 is the highest summit on Baranof Island in southeast Alaska and the highest point in the Alexander Archipelago. Though still unnamed on USGS maps, it is also known as Veniaminof Peak and Lacey Peak. Rising 5,390 feet with an equal prominence, it ranks 97th among the most prominent peaks in the United States. Beyond that, it is the nation’s highest island-based peak outside the Aleutian Islands and the volcanic summits on Hawaiʻi and Maui. In clear weather, its summit offers sweeping views of southeast Alaska, the mainland, the Coast Mountains, Devils Thumb, and the spires of the Stikine Icecap.
