Monte Cristo Peak, Mountain summit in Henry M. Jackson Wilderness, Washington, United States
Monte Cristo Peak rises to an elevation of 7,143 feet with steep slopes, glaciers, and a prominent north face in the North Cascades region.
The peak received its current name in 1918, influenced by a nearby mining settlement that drew inspiration from Alexandre Dumas's literary work.
The mountain stands as a testament to Washington's mining heritage, with abandoned mines and structures from the 1890s scattered throughout the surrounding area.
Climbing the peak requires technical skills and equipment, with the North Col Route offering the most direct path through Class 5 terrain to reach the summit.
The mountain features three distinct glaciers at its base: Pride Glacier to the east, Columbia Glacier to the southwest, and Wilmans Glacier to the north.
