Mount Brynteson sits 9 miles north of Nome, and is a decent hike close to town. It's a fairly barren mountain with small willows and shrub birch along its base and a rocky summit.
There's an open pit gold mine at the southwest base of Mount Brynteson. Remnants of abandoned mining equipment from long ceased operations can also be found on the mountains.
Reported as "Brunteson Peak" on the 1900 "Map of Nome Peninsula" by J. M. Davidson and B. D. Blakeslee. Named for John Brynteson, one of the "three Swedes" who discovered gold in the Nome area in the summer of 1898. Brynteson, a native of Sweden, was 40 years old in 1898 and an experienced coal and iron miner who went to Alaska to search for coal. Prior to the gold discovery, he directed work at the coal mine on Norton Sound operated by the Swedish mission at Unalakleet (Rickard, 1909, p. 330). See Lindblom Creek.
