Concord Tower Peak

Concord Tower rises to 7,560 ft in Pacific-Ranges within the Cascade Range range.

With an elevation of approximately 3,035 meters (9,957 feet), it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

During the winter season, Concord Tower experiences substantial snowfall, resulting in a robust snowpack. Snowpack depths can vary depending on the specific year and weather conditions, ranging from several meters to over ten meters in some areas. This significant snowpack makes it an ideal destination for backcountry skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts.

Several creeks and rivers benefit from the mountain's runoff, contributing to the region's water supply. One notable example is the Pitt River, which receives water from the melting snow and glaciers on Concord Tower. The glacial meltwater flowing through these waterways also supports a diverse ecosystem and provides valuable habitat for various species of fish and wildlife.

The name "Concord Tower" has a fascinating history behind it. Though the exact origins of the name are unclear, it is believed to have been named by early explorers or mountaineers in honor of the spirit of harmony and agreement that resonates among climbers who successfully summit this peak. The mountain's lore is not well-documented, but it is said to be a site of inspiration and awe for those who undertake the challenging ascent.
