Devils Thumb

Devils Thumb rises 5,172 feet above sea level in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, featuring solid red toned rock formations near Darrington, Washington.

The mountain gained recognition in 1968 when climber Joe Vance completed the first documented ascent of the challenging south ridge route to the summit.

The peak stands as part of the western North Cascades range, where mountaineers test their skills through technical climbing routes throughout the seasons.

Accessing the summit requires following Deer Creek Road #4052 and Coal Creek Road #4054, followed by a 2.5-mile hike on an old logging path.

The mountain's south slope channels water into Coal Creek, connecting to the Stillaguamish River, while other faces feed Helena Creek toward the Sauk River.
