Big Bear Mountain

Big Bear Mountain is a peak in the Cascade Range that rises to 1720 meters (5640 feet). The summit sits above dense forest terrain with steep slopes marking the terrain throughout the climb.

The mountain falls within the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and has been managed as part of this protected area. This designation helped preserve the natural landscapes of Washington State.

Mountaineering groups gather at the summit to mark climbing achievements, with documentation of numerous successful ascents recorded through various hiking platforms.

The climb demands good fitness and appropriate gear before starting. Visitors should plan for a full day of hiking and bring plenty of water and sturdy footwear.

The mountain feeds multiple drainage systems that contribute to the Skagit River watershed and shape the region's water supply. This hydrological role makes it an important part of the local ecosystem.
