Tom Dick and Harry Mountain is a two-mile-long volcanic mountain in Clackamas County in the U.S. state of Oregon.〔 〕 It is located southwest of Mount Hood, west-southwest of Government Camp between the Zigzag River and Still Creek, south of Zigzag Mountain. Because of its proximity to Mount Hood, it is considered a foothill. The mountain is named for 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 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."〔 It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names. Mirror Lake, a popular hiking destination, is located on the north side of the mountain. Both Tom Dick and Harry Mountain and Zigzag Mountain are capped by Pliocene andesite and basalt.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Mount Hood, Oregon )〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Dick and Harry Mountain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
