Arrowhead Mountain (Washington)

Arrowhead Mountain is a peak located in the Cascade Range of Washington state, United States. It is situated within the Glacier Peak Wilderness, part of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.

The mountain is notable for its distinctive arrowhead-like shape when viewed from certain angles, which gives it its name. The surrounding terrain is rugged, typical of the Cascade mountains, with dense forests, steep slopes, and glacial features.

Arrowhead Mountain is primarily accessed by hikers and climbers seeking challenging backcountry experiences. There are no established trails to the summit, requiring route-finding skills and experience in off-trail navigation. The climb to the summit involves traversing steep and exposed sections, and may require basic mountaineering equipment depending on the season and snow conditions.

The summit offers panoramic views of the surrounding Cascade Range, including Glacier Peak, Sloan Peak, and other prominent peaks. The area is known for its diverse flora and fauna, providing opportunities for wildlife viewing and nature photography.

Because of its remote location and challenging access, Arrowhead Mountain remains a relatively quiet and less-visited peak compared to some of the more popular destinations in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
