Peak Flags

"The massive eruption removed 1,314 feet..."

On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens changed forever. The massive eruption removed 1,314 feet from the summit, lowering the mountain from 9,677 feet to its current elevation of 8,363 feet. What was once a symmetrical, snow-covered peak became the dramatic cratered volcano we recognize today. A powerful reminder that every mountain has a story. Celebrate your adventure or commemorate your climb with a Mt. St. Helens Peak Flag, with or without a date box. #MountStHelens #PeakFlags #CascadeRange #WashingtonHiking #SummitMemories

Huge congratulations to one of our favorite customers for reaching the top of Mount Hood — Oregon’s highest peak at 11,250 ft and one of the most climbed glaciated mountains in North America. From steep snow slopes to rapidly changing weather, Hood demands preparation, respect, and determination.

Moments like these are exactly why Peak Flags exists — to help climbers celebrate their achievement while respecting the mountains we love.

Thanks for taking Peak Flags to the summit and sharing the adventure with us! 🙌
