Windy Peak, Mountain summit in Okanogan County, Washington, US

Windy Peak is an 8,335-foot (2,541-metre) summit in the Okanogan Range of the North Cascades, on the east side of the Cascade crest in the Pasayten Wilderness, Okanogan County, Washington. It lies five miles south of the Canada–United States border, and its runoff drains into tributaries of the Methow and Similkameen rivers.

Windy Peak is part of the North Cascades range, a mountain chain that has drawn hikers and mountaineers to Washington for many generations. The trails leading to this summit were developed and maintained through regional efforts to keep wilderness pathways accessible.

Windy Peak lies in the Pasayten Wilderness, on land managed by the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest, five miles south of the Canada–United States border. The summit is the nearest higher ground to nothing closer than Haystack Mountain, 9.24 miles northwest in Canada. Runoff from its slopes drains into tributaries of the Methow and Similkameen rivers.

The trail to reach this summit is steep and requires good physical fitness and proper mountain gear. Spring and autumn offer the best conditions, as winter brings heavy snow and early summer can mean muddy paths from melting snow.

Each autumn the larch trees that grow along the trail transform into brilliant golden tones, creating a rare burst of color in this high mountain setting. This seasonal display makes the hike during fall months particularly memorable for those who experience it.
