Mount Fernow, Mountain summit in Chelan County, Washington, United States.
Mount Fernow rises to 9,249 feet in elevation within the Glacier Peak Wilderness, featuring small glaciers and technical climbing routes through varied terrain.
The mountain received its name in recognition of Dr. Jacob Fernow, who made substantial contributions to forestry and conservation practices in the region.
The peak serves as a research location for scientists studying alpine ecosystems, weather patterns, and the effects of climate change on glacial formations.
Access to Mount Fernow requires navigation through three primary routes: Phelps Creek, Holden Village via Lake Chelan ferry, or the Entiat River Trail.
The mountain stands within the Maude-Seven Fingered Jack-Fernow Cirque, containing receding glaciers that provide insights into environmental transformations.
