Today, Mount St. Helens is the 35th highest major summit of the state. This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks [1] of the U.S. State of Washington. The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways: The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.
The pass summit is at an elevation of 3,015 feet (919 m), on the county line between Kittitas County and King County. [1] Snoqualmie Pass has the lowest elevation of the three east–west mountain routes across Washington State that are kept open year-round, along with Stevens Pass to the north, and White Pass to the south.
Enlargeable U.S. map with state and territory high points shown as red dots and low points as green squares except where low point is a shoreline. Enlargeable map of the 50 U.S. states by mean elevation. This list includes the topographic elevations of each of the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. [1]
The U.S. state of Washington, located in the Pacific Northwest, has several major mountain ranges that are traversed various passes. The state is divided by the Cascade Range, which have the highest passes, and is also home to the Olympic Mountains, Selkirk Mountains, and Blue Mountains.
There are at least 64 named mountain ranges in the U.S. state of Washington. Names, elevations and coordinates from the U.S. Geological Survey, Geographic Names Information System and trail guides published by The Mountaineers. Some of the ranges extend into neighboring states of Idaho and Oregon and British Columbia, Canada.
Cougar Mountain is a peak in the Issaquah Alps in King County, Washington.It is part of the highlands in the Eastside suburbs of Seattle, and at 1,614 feet (492 m) it is the lowest and westernmost of the Alps.
At the bottom of its steep, 4,200 ft (1,300 m) high north face, debris piles form from avalanches and are able to remain there year round because of the continuous shade provided by the mountain. At an elevation between 2,450 ft (750 m) and 1,950 ft (590 m), this ice forms the lowest-elevation glacier in the lower 49 states. [1]
Carbon Glacier is located on the north slope of Mount Rainier in the U.S. state of Washington and is the source of the Carbon River. [2] The snout at the glacier terminal moraine is at about 3,500 feet (1,100 m) above sea level, making it the lowest-elevation glacier in the contiguous United States. [3]
