Snowy Mountain rises to the west-northwest at 2.6 miles, reaching 3,900 feet, with the Snowy Mountain Fire Observation Station standing beside it at 3,905 feet. Lewey Mountain is visible to the west-southwest at 5.5 miles and 3,714 feet, and Cellar Mountain appears in the same direction at 6.3 miles, topping out at 3,367 feet.
