Mount Daniel

Mount Daniel is a mountain summit in the Cascade Range located within Alpine Lakes Wilderness in Washington. The peak features five distinct summits connected along the crest of the mountain range.

The summit was first documented as climbed in 1925 when The Mountaineers successfully ascended by traversing the Lynch Glacier to reach the peak. This early climb established the mountain as a destination for mountaineers seeking technical challenges.

The mountain serves as an important destination for mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts who regularly traverse its trails and study its glacial formations.

Reaching the summit requires advanced mountaineering skills and specialized climbing equipment, particularly when crossing the glacier sections. Visitors should expect snow and ice conditions and plan their route carefully before attempting the ascent.

The summit holds the Lynch Glacier, a substantial glacier that spans across significant elevation changes on the mountain. This glacial formation is a defining feature that shapes the appearance and character of the peak.
