Nature
Glee Peak is a 7,180-foot summit in Washington’s North Cascades, in the Picket Range within North Cascades National Park and the Stephen Mather Wilderness. More notable for its dramatic relief than its elevation, it rises steeply above Stetattle Creek and Goodell Creek, with runoff draining to the Skagit River. The peak bears the unofficial name of Glee Davis, a member of a pioneering Skagit Valley family who homesteaded nearby, built an electric generator on Stetattle Creek, worked for the Forest Service, and helped open the area by building the Sourdough Mountain Trail and an early fire lookout tower. Its rugged landscape was formed by uplift, faulting, and repeated glaciation.
