Mount Cruiser, Mountain summit in Mason County, United States
Mount Cruiser is a mountain summit in the Olympic Range that reaches 1,860 meters (6,100 feet) as the highest point of Sawtooth Ridge. The peak shows steep rock faces and alpine meadows across different elevation zones.
The first ascent took place in 1937 by two climbers who named the peak after their ski club. This climb marks the beginning of the peak as a mountaineering destination in the region.
The mountain stands within Mount Skokomish Wilderness, offering six established technical climbing routes ranging from class 5.0 to class 5.7 difficulty levels.
The hike starts from a ranger station and passes through different forest types as elevation increases. The route is more accessible during warmer months and provides several water sources along the way.
Two nearby peaks with lower elevations flank the main summit and one of them marks a boundary line to a large national park. This arrangement creates an interesting geographic link between two protected areas.
