Description
Whiskey Dick Mountain is a summit in Kittitas County, Washington, with mixed conifer forests on the upper slopes and shrublands in the lower zones within the L.T. Murray Wildlife Area. The landscape reflects different land uses, including the Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility that operates on the southwestern side.
History
The mountain served as a geographical marker for early settlers in Kittitas County who were developing agricultural and ranching operations. Modern renewable energy infrastructure arrived much later on its southwestern side.
Culture
The mountain serves as a meeting point between natural preservation and modern technology, with the Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility operating on its southwest flank.
Practical
Visitors need permits from Puget Sound Energy to access the hiking trails leading to the summit, as much of the land is privately owned. Planning ahead helps clarify access requirements and local conditions.
