Kyes Peak, Mountain summit in Central Cascades, Washington, United States
Kyes Peak rises to 7,280 feet in elevation within the Monte Cristo group of peaks, featuring steep rocky terrain and multiple glacial formations.
The peak was renamed in 1944 to honor Commander James Ellsworth Kyes, who led the first documented climb with Boy Scouts in 1920.
The mountain stands as a memorial to naval service, originally known as Goblin Peak and Mount Michigan by local miners and forest personnel.
Climbing Kyes Peak requires advanced mountaineering skills, with a challenging 12-mile round trip route gaining 5,200 feet in elevation.
The summit provides access to Columbia Glacier and overlooks Blanca Lake, known for its distinct turquoise waters caused by glacial sediments.
