Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
Tower Mountain is a striking summit and aptly named for its shape. Though not in a wilderness area, it is surrounded by the North Cascade, Glacier Peak, and Pasayten wildernesses. The summit block is an easy low 5th class. Tower Mountain is often paired with similar nearby neighbor Golden Horn, not least because both are in the Top 100 highest peaks in Washington.
