Kyes Peak is a prominent mountain in the Pacific Ranges mountain range, located in the state of Washington, USA. With its stunning elevation of 6,178 feet, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. This impressive peak is known for its challenging mountaineering routes, attracting climbers and outdoor enthusiasts from all over.

During the winter season, Kyes Peak is typically covered in a thick snowpack, making it an ideal destination for backcountry skiing and snowshoeing. The snowpack range varies depending on the year, but it can accumulate several feet of snow, providing ample opportunities for winter adventures.

Several creeks and rivers receive runoff from the melting snow on Kyes Peak. The most notable is the North Fork Skykomish River, which benefits from the snowmelt during the spring and summer months, contributing to its flow.

The name "Kyes Peak" honors William S. Kyes, a prominent mountaineer and early explorer of the region. Kyes was known for his extensive knowledge of the Pacific Ranges and his contributions to the development of mountaineering routes in the area. Though lacking significant legends or lore, Kyes Peak stands as a testament to the challenging yet rewarding nature of mountaineering in the Pacific Ranges.
