The local name for this peak is Dadillon. Once you've climbed nearly to the top, the ridgeline east of the peak is broad and pleasant, and you can wander back and forth to enjoy views of the Lake Betty basin, Finger Bay, Sweeper Cove, Shagak Bay, and even the islands in Expedition Harbor peeking through the gap in Husky Pass. The pond at the foot of Dadillon is shallow and warms up quickly on a sunny day--it's a lovely place for summer picnics and bathing. In fall the slopes on the way to the pond are carpeted with crowberries and blueberries.
