Nature
Mount Ann is a 5,840-foot summit in Washington’s North Cascades, in the Mount Baker Wilderness near Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan. Though moderate in elevation, it rises steeply above Swift Creek, giving it striking relief and making it prominent from Artist Point. Its runoff feeds creeks that drain to Baker Lake, and its unofficial name is linked to nearby Lake Ann. The mountain lies in a marine west coast climate shaped by Pacific moisture, bringing heavy winter snowfall, clearer summers, and serious avalanche danger. Its rugged setting reflects the North Cascades’ long geologic history of uplift, faulting, glaciation, and regional volcanism.
