Buck Mountain (Washington)
Mountain in Washington (state), United States
Buck Mountain is an 8,534-foot (2,601-metre) mountain summit in the Glacier Peak Wilderness of the North Cascades in Washington state.[4] The mountain is located in Chelan County, in the Wenatchee National Forest. The nearest higher neighbor is Clark Mountain, 3.98 mi (6.41 km) to the southwest, and Brahma Peak is set 1.8 mi (2.9 km) to the south.[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Buck Creek, Chiwawa River, and Napeequa River, each a tributary of the Wenatchee River. The mountain's toponym was applied by Albert Hale Sylvester (1871-1944), pioneer surveyor, explorer, topographer, and forest supervisor in the Cascades.
