Little Annapurna is a prominent peak located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range within Washington State's Cascade Mountains. Standing at an elevation of approximately 8,440 feet, this mountain offers majestic views and a thrilling mountaineering experience. The peak is part of the Enchantment Range, which is known for its rugged beauty and alpine splendor.

During the winter season, Little Annapurna receives a significant amount of snowfall due to its high elevation. The snowpack in this area can range from several feet to several meters, creating challenging conditions for mountaineers.

The snowpack also contributes to the mountain's aesthetic appeal, adding to its allure as a destination for adventurous climbers.

These waterways enhance the scenic beauty of the region and provide a valuable water source for local wildlife.

The name "Little Annapurna" is said to have been inspired by the resemblance of the mountain to the larger Annapurna peaks in the Himalayas.
