Davis Peak, Mountain summit in Whatcom County, United States

Davis Peak is a mountain just north of Gorge Lake in North Cascades National Park, Washington, south of the Picket Range. Its Northeast Face drops 5,250 feet in one horizontal mile, one of the two largest such vertical drops in the contiguous United States.
