Morning Star Peak, Mountain summit in Snohomish County, Washington, United States.

Morning Star Peak is a mountain summit located in the North Cascades between Del Campo Peak and Sperry Peak. The peak rises prominently within this range and serves as a navigational landmark for hikers and climbers moving through the area.

The first documented ascent took place in 1940 when Sam Heller established a climbing route that later became the standard way up the peak. This achievement marked the beginning of the mountain's recorded climbing history.

The name Morning Star Peak appears on maps of the Monte Cristo mining district, and the peak stands above Barlow Pass on the Mountain Loop Highway, 2.5 miles southwest of it. Its south slopes feed the Sultan River and its north side the headwaters of the Stillaguamish River.

Getting to the trailhead involves driving on Mountain Loop Highway from the direction of Granite Falls, then continuing on a forest service road. Plan for a full day trip since the route demands both hiking time and considerable elevation gain.

The peak functions as a natural watershed dividing rainfall between two different river systems. Water running off its south face feeds the Sultan River, while precipitation on the north side flows to the Stillaguamish River.
