Gilbert Peak, Mountain summit in Goat Rocks, Washington, US.
Gilbert Peak is a summit in the Goat Rocks with an elevation of 8,201 feet situated within the Cascade Range. The landscape features alpine meadows, snowfields, and rocky slopes that frame the mountain's distinctive terrain.
The peak formed millions of years ago through volcanic activity as part of the Goat Rocks, remnants of an ancient stratovolcano. This geological past continues to shape the steep terrain visitors encounter today.
The mountain sits within both Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and Yakama Indian Reservation lands, showing how nature and indigenous communities share this region. Visitors walking the trails experience a landscape shaped by these overlapping relationships.
The route to the summit is long and demanding, requiring experience navigating snow and boulder fields. Visitors should bring mountaineering skills and be well-equipped for high alpine conditions.
Two large glaciers frame the mountain: Meade Glacier on the southeastern slopes and Conrad Glacier on the northern side. These ice masses remain visible year-round and significantly shape the mountain's appearance.
