Description
Coming from the east on the Boundary Trail, this peak presents an attractive profile and dominates the near horizon. The rocky summit is officially nameless, but two monikers have been advanced in recent years, both by members of the Oregon Hikers community. The name "Teragram" is Margaret spelled backwards and lends the peak co-honors on the ridge as it is roughly the same height as Mount Margaret and may even be a little higher. Another name, Mount Tomroy, was given in honor of a frequent contributor to the Oregon Hikers Forums, Thomas Duhigg, who passed away while hiking in 2015. Tom was passionate about the Mt. St. Helens area, and his ashes were scattered at the top of the peak.
Views from the summit of Mt. Teragram are similar to the expansive vistas from nearby Mount Margaret, with the latter giving a better perspective of Mount Saint Helens, while Mt. Teragram offers a peek into the Lakes Basin. The most gradual ascent is off the Boundary Trail through high meadows via the southeast ridge, then transitioning to the north ridge.
