Kings Mountain

The Matunuska river flows below this pointy iconic peak on it's way to the Cook Inlet.

 

"Kings Mountain, also commonly called King Mountain, is a prominent 5,809-foot (1,771 m) elevation mountain summit located 22 mi (35 km) northeast of Palmer, in the northwestern Chugach Mountains of the U.S. state of Alaska.[2] This landmark of the Matanuska Valley is set between Anchorage and Glennallen, at mile 75 of the Glenn Highway.

The mountain was named after Al King, a prospector who had a cabin nearby at the confluence of Kings River and Matanuska River."
