Nature
Gray Wolf Ridge is a prominent mountain ridge in the northeastern Olympic Mountains on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula and includes the highest point in Clallam County. Its skyline features six rocky summits above timberline, with Gray Wolf Mountain rising to 7,218 feet and other named points including Baldy, Tyler Peak, and Maynard Peak. Lower slopes support alpine and subalpine forest, while higher ground opens into fragile alpine meadows on steep terrain. Bordered by the Gray Wolf River, Royal Creek, and the Dungeness River valleys, the ridge is shaped by a wet marine climate, heavy snow, glaciation, and erosion acting on oceanic crust, sandstone, turbidite, and basalt.
