Nature
The Brothers are twin peaks in Washington’s Olympic Mountains near Hood Canal, on the boundary between Olympic National Park and The Brothers Wilderness. Easily recognized from Seattle, they form one of the range’s most distinctive silhouettes, with the south peak rising higher at 6,842 feet, 192 feet above the north peak. The south summit is considered a non-technical climb despite the lack of official summit trails. In the eastern Olympics’ marine west coast climate, Pacific weather brings heavy rain, snow, winter cloud, and avalanche danger. Named in 1856 by surveyor George Davidson, the peaks also reflect a layered naming history, including an unapproved 1968 renaming proposal.
