Chutla Peak, Mountain summit in Lewis County, Washington, US.
Chutla Peak is a mountain summit in the Tatoosh Range, part of the Cascade Mountains within Mount Rainier National Park. The peak rises to approximately 1830 meters (6000 feet) and stands as a distinct point along this ridge system.
The name comes from Chinook Jargon, where 'Chutla' means rock. This name choice reflects the stone and rocky character of the summit.
The peak contributes to the water system of the region as precipitation from its slopes flows into the Nisqually River.
Reaching the summit requires hiking the Eagle Peak Trail and traversing the northwest ridge to the top. The best climbing season runs from July through October when snow and ice are less of an obstacle.
The peak sits along a watershed where rainfall flows into the Nisqually River, shaping the region's water cycle. This hydrological role gives it a function beyond being merely a geographic marker.
