Nature
Hoodoo Peak is an 8,475-foot summit in Washington’s Methow Mountains, within the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness of the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest, and ranks as the state’s 71st-highest peak. Its rugged setting reflects the broader geologic history of the North Cascades, shaped by tectonic processes beginning millions of years ago, the accretion of terranes about 50 million years ago, and later repeated Pleistocene glaciation that carved deep valleys and sharp relief. East of the Cascade crest, the peak lies in a somewhat drier alpine climate. Its west-side runoff drains to Buttermilk Creek, while its east-side runoff flows into Libby Creek.
