Mount Stepo is a 3,828-foot mountain in the Aleutian Range at the southwest end of the Alaska Peninsula, on the west shore of Stepovak Bay within the Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge. Notable for twin summits, a slightly higher south peak, and a saw-toothed ridge of spire-like rock shafts, it rises especially steeply above American Bay, climbing more than 3,800 feet above tidewater in just 1.5 miles. Its runoff and glacial meltwater drain into American Bay and Stepovak Bay, and a small glacier remains on its west slope. Its name, tied to nearby Stepovak Bay, was recorded on a 1953 U.S. Geological Survey map and later officially adopted.
