Nature
Unicorn Peak is a 6,971-foot mountain in Lewis County, Washington, and the highest point in the Tatoosh Range, a sub-range of the Cascades. Located in Mount Rainier National Park south of Mount Rainier, it has small glaciers, including Unicorn Glacier, that feed tributaries of the Cowlitz River. The mountain was named for its resemblance to a unicorn's head and horn, and that descriptive name was made official in 1913 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. On the west side of the Cascades, it has a wet marine climate with heavy winter snowfall and clearer conditions more common in summer.
