Eagle Peak

Eagle Peak, a 5,958-foot mountain in Mount Rainier National Park, stands at the west end of the Tatoosh Range south of Mount Rainier near Longmire. Once known as Simlayshe, a Native American word meaning eagle, it later took its present name through George Longmire, linking it to the area’s early settlement and travel history. The mountain is a prominent local summit whose runoff flows into the Nisqually River. It is especially known for the four-mile Eagle Peak Trail, which leads to broad views of Mount Rainier, while the true summit requires scrambling. Heavy Pacific rain and snow shape its marine west coast climate.
