Mount Favorite

Mount Favorite is a 2,500-foot mountain in Alaska's Fairweather Range within Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, southeast of Gullied Peak. Its significance lies less in absolute elevation than in its dramatic local relief, rising from the tidewater of Charpentier Inlet in about one mile and forming a steep coastal landmark. The surrounding area has a marine subpolar climate marked by long, cold, snowy winters, cool summers, and heavy precipitation from weather systems moving in from the Gulf of Alaska. The name was reported by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1951 and later officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
