Chinook Peak, Mountain summit in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, US.
Located on the eastern border of Mount Rainier National Park, Chinook Peak rises to 6,904 feet with a prominence of 504 feet above the surrounding landscape.
The peak stands at the crest of the Cascade Range, marking the boundary between Pierce County and Yakima County since the establishment of Mount Rainier National Park.
The summit serves as a natural marker for weather pattern changes, with its visibility from multiple vantage points making it a reference point for local communities.
Precipitation from Chinook Peak flows into tributaries of both the White River and Yakima River, contributing to the regional water resources and drainage systems.
During winter months, the peak experiences heavy wet snowfall due to maritime influences, creating specific climbing conditions that require class 3 scrambling techniques.
