Snoqualmie Mountain rises in Washington’s Alpine Lakes Wilderness near Snoqualmie Pass and stands as the tallest peak immediately around the pass, giving it a commanding presence above this heavily traveled corridor. Rather than a sharply pointed summit, it is known for a broad, amorphous form, though its north face drops steeply toward the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River. The wilderness boundary crosses its summit, placing it on the edge of one of the state’s best-known protected mountain landscapes. Its standard route follows the south ridge by way of Cave Ridge, and its first recorded ascent was made by Albert H. Sylvester in 1897 or 1898.
