Three Queens, Mountain summit in Kittitas County, United States.
Three Queens is a mountain in Kittitas County with three separate peaks, the easternmost rising to about 6,700 feet. The formation creates a distinctive landmark visible across the surrounding Alpine Lakes Wilderness area.
The mountain was first climbed on record in 1925 by a group of mountaineers including Glen Bremerman and C. A. Fisher. This early ascent helped establish it as a destination for climbers exploring the Cascade Range foothills.
The Pacific Crest Trail passes along the western slope of Three Queens, connecting hikers to a network of paths through the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
Weather here changes quickly due to moisture from the Pacific, so waterproof gear and sturdy boots are essential. Starting your hike early in the day helps you avoid afternoon thunderstorms that often develop on the peaks.
The mountain contains over 543 meters of prominence and ranks as the eighth highest peak among 142 summits in Kittitas County.
