Silvertip Peak

Silvertip Peak stands at 1871 meters in elevation within the North Cascades mountain range, featuring steep slopes and rocky terrain extending across the wilderness.

The mountain received its name from a nearby Silver Tip mining claim, reflecting the extensive mining operations that shaped the development of this region.

The peak forms part of the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness, managed by Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, contributing to regional outdoor recreational traditions.

Visitors can reach the mountain via Mountain Loop Highway, located 3.5 miles south of Barlow Pass, with optimal climbing conditions from July through September.

The mountain drainage system splits between the Sauk River tributaries to the north and Silver Creek headwaters flowing toward the Skykomish River south.
