Mount Carrie

Mount Carrie is a peak in the Bailey Range within Olympic National Park that features rocky ridges and multiple glaciated slopes. The northeast and eastern faces hold permanent ice fields that remain from persistent winter snowfall throughout the year.

Surveyors explored the Olympic Range between 1898 and 1900, naming this peak in 1899 after the wife of one of the cartographers. This naming marked one of the final steps in mapping the remote backcountry of the region.

Theodore Rixon named the mountain after his wife Caroline, who taught music to children and developed artistic talents in painting and singing.

This summit requires advanced mountaineering skills and is accessible only to experienced hikers comfortable with alpine terrain. Visitors should prepare for rapidly changing weather and potential glacier crossing hazards.

Precipitation from Mount Carrie flows into two major water systems, contributing to both the Elwha River and Hoh River tributaries.
