Cultus Mountain

Cultus Mountain is located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range, known for its stunning natural beauty and challenging mountaineering opportunities. Rising to an impressive elevation of approximately 6,500 feet, this majestic peak offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. With its rugged terrain and diverse ecosystems, Cultus Mountain is a favorite destination for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers.

During the winter season, Cultus Mountain experiences a significant snowpack range, which can vary depending on weather conditions. This provides ample opportunities for winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. The mountain's snowpack also contributes to the water supply for creeks and rivers in the surrounding area.

One notable creek that receives runoff from Cultus Mountain is the picturesque Cultus Creek. Flowing through lush forests and meadows, this creek is known for its crystal-clear waters and abundance of wildlife. It is a popular spot for fishing and hiking, offering a serene and tranquil escape into nature.

Regarding history and lore, Cultus Mountain derives its name from the Chinook Jargon word "cultus," meaning "useless" or "of no value." This name was given to the mountain by early settlers, possibly due to its challenging terrain or lack of resources. While there are no specific legends or folklore associated with Cultus Mountain, its rich history and natural beauty continue to captivate those who venture to its summit.
