Mount Aix

7,766 ft

Mount Aix, located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range in Washington State, is a prominent peak with a rich mountaineering history. Rising to an elevation of 7,766 feet (2,367 meters), it offers breathtaking views and challenging routes for climbers and hikers alike.

During the winter season, Mount Aix receives a substantial snowpack, making it a popular destination for backcountry skiing and snowshoeing. The snow depth can vary, with an average range of 5 to 15 feet (1.5 to 4.5 meters) depending on weather conditions. This snowpack provides excellent opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts to explore the mountain's slopes.

Several creeks and rivers in the surrounding area receive runoff from Mount Aix. One notable example is the Tieton River, which originates from the mountain's melting snow. The Tieton River offers recreational activities such as fishing and rafting, enhancing the area's appeal for outdoor enthusiasts.

The name "Aix" is believed to have originated from French Canadian trappers who explored the area in the early 19th century. The mountain's name may be a reference to the city of Aix-les-Bains in France, renowned for its hot springs. Interestingly, Mount Aix is also associated with Native American legends, with some indigenous tribes considering the mountain a sacred place. These legends add to the mystique and allure of Mount Aix, making it not only a challenging mountaineering destination but also a place of cultural significance.
