Daemon Peak is a 7,516 ft (2291 m) mountain located in the Hozameen Range of the North Cascades[1]. It rises approximately 11 miles south of the Canada–United States border, and 8 miles from Ross Lake (Washington). Located in the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest[2], the summit is located about 10 miles north of Washington State Route 20[3].
Naming
[edit]Daemon Peak is the tallest peak in Washington that does not have an official name[4]. The generally accepted name in the climbing community was given by Dr. John Roper, as he described the peak as "like the being between Heaven and Earth", and that the peak was close to many other prominent geographical features that are named after the devil, including Devil's Dome, Devil's Creek, and Devil's Park[1][5].
Environment
[edit]The environment surrounding the peak is a Dsc Köppen climate[6], characterized by little precipitation in the dry season, and heavy snowfall in the winter.
