Known for its challenging trails and stunning panoramic views, it rises to a formidable 4,840 feet. The peak gets its name from a mailbox installed at the summit in the 1960s by a local carrier, which has since become a place for hikers to leave quirky notes and objects. Hikers often undertake this steep, approximately 9.4-mile round trip to enjoy the surrounding Alpine Lakes Wilderness and the breathtaking skyline dominated by Mount Rainier. Over the years, the trail has been improved significantly for safety and erosion control, making it accessible yet adventurous for enthusiastic hikers.
