Nature
Pyramid Mountain is a 2,395-foot summit on Kodiak Island, about 7.5 miles west of the city of Kodiak, and is notable less for its overall height than for its dramatic rise above the surrounding landscape. It climbs more than 2,300 feet above Buskin Lake within 1.5 miles, giving it striking local relief. Its descriptive name was first published in 1943 by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. The mountain stands in a subpolar oceanic climate influenced by North Pacific weather systems, bringing heavy rain and snow, harsh winter cold and wind chill, while summer generally offers the best conditions for ascending its established two-mile trail.
