Mount Tatum is an 11,140-foot summit in the Alaska Range within Denali National Park and Preserve, standing northeast of Denali on Carpe Ridge between the Muldrow and Traleika glaciers. Around 1945, Bradford Washburn named it for Robert G. Tatum, one of the climbers who made the first ascent of Mount McKinley and reached the South Peak on June 1, 1913. The mountain's name connects this lesser-known summit to a major achievement in Alaska mountaineering history.
