Whittier Peak is a 7,281-foot (2,219-metre) mountain summit located in the Glacier Peak Wilderness of the North Cascades in Washington state.[3] The mountain is situated in Chelan County, in the Wenatchee National Forest. Its nearest higher neighbor is Mount David, 2.26 mi (3.64 km) to the northeast, and Indian Head Peak is 5.2 mi (8.4 km) to the northwest.[1] Precipitation runoff from Whittier Peak drains into tributaries of the Wenatchee River. The peak was named for poet John Greenleaf Whittier by Albert Hale Sylvester, pioneer surveyor, explorer, topographer, and forest supervisor in the Cascades who named thousands of natural features. Other peaks in the immediate vicinity named by Sylvester after poets include Irving Peak, Poe Mountain, Longfellow Mountain, and Bryant Peak.
