Mount Carrie, a 6,995-foot summit in Olympic National Park, is the highest point in the Bailey Range and stands above watersheds feeding tributaries of the Elwha and Hoh rivers. Its wet marine west coast climate brings heavy winter precipitation that sustains Carrie Glacier and Fairchild Glacier. Clear summer weather, especially from July through September, offers the best conditions for viewing and climbing by way of the High Divide Trail and the Cat Walk. Named in 1899 by surveyor Theodore Rixon for his wife, Caroline "Carrie" Jones Rixon, the peak also preserves part of the Olympic Peninsula’s early surveying history.
