Description
WikipediaCantata Peak is a 6,391-foot (1,948 m) mountain summit located in the Chugach Mountains, in Anchorage Municipality in the U.S. state of Alaska. Cantata Peak is situated in Chugach State Park, 20 mi (32 km) east of downtown Anchorage, and 1.83 mi (3 km) west-southwest of Eagle Peak. The first ascent of the peak was made August 26, 1967, by Dave Johnston and Karen Courtright. The mountain's cantata name was officially adopted in 1968 by the United States Geological Survey, based on a recommendation by Karen in keeping with the music theme of the immediate area. Within three miles of the peak there is a Symphony Lake, Concerto Peak, Flute Peak, Triangle Peak, Organ Mountain, Calliope Mountain, and Hurdygurdy Mountain.
