Nature
Goode Mountain is a major North Cascades summit in Washington and the highest peak in North Cascades National Park. Named for U.S. Geological Survey topographer Richard Urquhart Goode, it is Washington’s fourth-highest non-volcanic peak and twelfth-highest summit overall. Its importance lies not only in elevation but in dramatic relief, rising more than 6,000 feet from its base and nearly 7,000 feet above Bridge Creek valley. Remote and unseen from major roads, it has become a notable objective in American alpinism. The first ascent came in 1936, and later climbers established increasingly difficult routes, including the Northeast Buttress and Megalodon Ridge.
