Mount Fairchild, Mountain summit in Olympic National Park, United States.

Mount Fairchild is a summit in the Bailey Range of the Olympic Mountains, reaching 2,108 meters. It stands as the second-highest peak in this range and features glaciers and alpine terrain near its slopes.

The peak was named in 1975 after William R. Fairchild, a pilot who conducted glacier research flights in the region before his death in 1969. The naming honored his contributions to studying the Olympic Mountains.

The mountain's first recorded ascent occurred in 1963 when climbers Denny Pruitt, Dan Baker, Jack Christiansen, and Roy Etten reached the summit.

Access to the summit requires hiking through the Olympic National Park's trail system over considerable distances through forested terrain. Be prepared for difficult terrain and changeable mountain weather conditions typical of this region.

Fairchild Glacier sits at the head of Fairchild Creek, which carries its meltwater down toward tributaries of the Elwha River. The glacier, the creek and the peak all honor pilot William R. Fairchild, who flew hundreds of photographic glacier-survey flights for the USGS and National Park Service before dying in a 1969 air-taxi crash out of Port Angeles.
