Sperry Peak

Sperry Peak is a mountain summit in Snohomish County that rises to about 1,900 meters elevation with dramatic steep faces on the north and east sides. Granite formations dominate the upper reaches and give the peak its distinctive rocky appearance.

The peak was named after Dick Sperry, a mining prospector who worked in the Silverton region during the 1890s. The first documented ascent occurred in 1927 when Norval Grigg and Art Winder reached the summit via the western ridge.

The peak attracts hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate the challenging climb and the exposure to the granite landscape at higher elevations. Local climbers value the western ridge route as a classic approach through this alpine terrain.

The climb starts at Sunshine Mine Road and passes through forest terrain and Headlee Pass before reaching the summit. Hikers should prepare for steep terrain and exposed conditions, especially on the upper granite sections.

A connecting ridge links this peak to the adjacent Vesper Peak, creating a natural hiking corridor through the Morning Star Conservation Area. This geological connection attracts climbers looking for extended alpine traverses.
