Mount Pugh, Glacier Peak Wilderness

Mount Pugh is a peak near the western edge of the North Cascades, in Washington state. It is located 12.2 miles west of Glacier Peak, one of the Cascade stratovolcanoes. It rises out of the confluence of the White Chuck River and the Sauk River, giving it very low footings. For example, it rises 6,150 feet above the Sauk River Valley in just over 2 horizontal miles; its rise over the White Chuck River is almost as dramatic. The mountain is named for John Pugh, who settled nearby, in 1891. ()
