Overall, American Samoa is mostly mountainous because of its volcanic origin. For example, Rainmaker Mountain is a chain of mountains located near Pago Pago, American Samoa. The origin of the name is from its peaks that trap clouds within the island causing rainfall.

The mountain has a tri-peak of summits, including its highest at 523 meters (1,716 ft) in height. But Lata Mountain is the highest peak of American Samoa, on the island of Ta’u at 966 meters (3,170 ft) above sea level.
