Nature
Ingalls Peak is a 7,662-foot mountain in Washington’s Alpine Lakes Wilderness, the highest point in the Teanaway area, with three summits straddling the divide between Kittitas and Chelan counties. Named for Captain Benjamin Ingalls, who led an 1855 survey and is credited with discovering regional gold, it is especially known as a climbing destination. Its sound peridotite rock and relatively easy access have drawn climbers for decades. The highest summit was first climbed in 1925, and later ascents established notable routes on the South and East peaks. Its rugged form reflects North Cascades terranes, volcanism, and later glaciation.
