Mount Pilchuck State Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Located on the western edges of the Cascade Mountains in the state of Washington, Mt. Pilchuck State Park is a 1,893 acre scenic park featuring alpine scenery, recreational activities and Mt. Pilchuck itself. The main point of interest is the 3 mile trail to the peak and the old fire lookout located on the summit, 5,324 feet above sea level.

[edit] History

The name "Pilchuck" originated from the Native American name of "red water" for a creek in the area. The US Forest Service built a fire lookout on the summit in 1918 which was staffed until the 1960s. A ski-area was also located on the slopes of Mt. Pilchuck from 1957-1980 before it was closed due to poor ski conditions. The park is currently managed in partnership with the USFS, and the Everett Mountaineers.
