Mount Larrabee

7,861 ft

Mount Larrabee, located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range, is a prominent peak in the North Cascades of Washington, USA. With an elevation of 7,868 feet (2,398 meters), it stands as the highest point in Whatcom County. This majestic mountain offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, including Mount Baker, Cascade Pass, and the Picket Range.

During the winter season, Mount Larrabee receives a significant amount of snowfall, contributing to its impressive snowpack range. The snowpack can vary greatly depending on weather conditions, but it generally accumulates from November to April. This makes the mountain a popular destination for backcountry skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts.

Several creeks and rivers receive runoff from the melting snow on Mount Larrabee. One of the most notable is the Chilliwack River, which originates from the mountain's southern slopes. The Chilliwack River is known for its crystal-clear waters and is a popular spot for fishing and whitewater rafting.

As for its name and lore, Mount Larrabee was named after Charles H. Larrabee, an early pioneer and businessman in the area during the late 1800s. There are no specific legends or folklore associated with this mountain, but its rich history and natural beauty make it a favorite destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure and solitude in the North Cascades.
