Mount Daniel

Mount Daniel is a prominent peak located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range in Washington, USA. Standing at an impressive elevation of approximately 7,959 feet, it is the highest point in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area. This mountain boasts a sizeable prominence, with an estimated isolation of around 5 miles.

During the winter season, Mount Daniel receives a substantial amount of snowfall, making it a popular destination for winter mountaineering and backcountry skiing. The snowpack range can vary greatly depending on the year and weather conditions, but it typically accumulates several feet deep. The mountain's unique topography and exposure to moisture-laden weather systems contribute to its ability to retain snow well into the spring months.

Mount Daniel feeds a network of creeks and rivers through its runoff, contributing to the water supply in the surrounding region. Notable water bodies that receive water from the mountain include the Cooper River and the East Fork Foss River. These rivers provide important habitats for various species of fish and wildlife.

The name "Mount Daniel" holds historic significance. It was named by George Davidson, a geographer and surveyor who named many of the peaks in the region during the late 19th century. The name was given in honor of General James Daniel, a member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

While there are no specific legends or folklore associated with Mount Daniel, its rich history and unique natural features make it a captivating destination for mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
