Mount Walkinshaw is a 7,378-foot peak in the eastern Olympic Mountains within Olympic National Park, forming the northernmost summit of The Needles above the Dungeness River drainage. Set in the range’s rain shadow, it is drier than Mount Olympus and the wetter western Olympics. Originally called The Citadel, it was officially renamed in 1965 for Robert B. Walkinshaw, whose conservation work helped advance the creation of Olympic National Park; the site was chosen partly because it stands beside Mount Clark, named for fellow Seattle conservationist Irving M. Clark. First recorded climbed in 1961, the mountain is known for its tiny, rocky summit and rugged glaciated setting.
