Kodak Peak

Kodak Peak is a 6,132-foot mountain in Washington’s North Cascades on the boundary of the Glacier Peak and Henry M. Jackson wilderness areas, with slopes in both the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie and Okanogan-Wenatchee national forests. Though moderate in elevation, it rises steeply above the North Fork Sauk River and drains into three separate watershed systems. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses its slopes, making it a notable backcountry destination. Its memorable name was officially adopted after Albert Hale Sylvester applied it for a Kodak camera lost there by his assistant, Willett Ramsdell. The peak also reflects the North Cascades’ larger geologic history of uplift, volcanism, and repeated glaciation.
