On completing the hike up from the Mirror Lake Trailhead you will reach a peak of the mountain. The name Tom, Dick and Harry comes from its three distinct peaks along the summit, forming the cirque that is now part of the Mount Hood Skibowl ski resort. The highest peak is 5,066 feet above sea level. The name was in use as early as 1897, according to Elijah "Lige" Coalman, the namesake of Coalman Glacier. The mountain has also been called "Tom Dick Mountain" in the past, although the Board on Geographic Names officially decided in favor of including "Harry" in 1969 making it a play on phrase "Tom, Dick and Harry."
Mirror Lake, a popular hiking destination, is located on the north side of the mountain.
Altitude in Feet: 5066
