Mt Stuart is what some of the maps I looked at indicated. But wasn’t sure between that or Glacier Peak (?)
I very much appreciated your response!

Glacier peak is too far north to see from there, that's gotta be mount Stuart

Mt Stuart.

Stuart is just so impressive and beautiful.

Yes it was. I found a good spot to pull over and snap a decent shot. (Not bad for an older cell phone pic??)

Also at Indian John rest stop going east, they have a layout of the Stuart Mountain range

Yep, that's Mt Stuart sadly 3 climbers lost their lives up there over the weekend from avalanche conditions.

Yes it was sad. Every time this happens in high avalanche conditions I just wonder what the HELL they were doing up there. So many people do not respect the dangerous signs in the back country.

Get the PeakFinder app. Totally worth it in the PNW!

Second highest. Bonanza claims the #1 non-volcanic spot

It was Colchuck, but yes, sad.

I’m not sure if they still call it the “Indian John Hill“ rest stop, but that is one of the best places to stop and get a picture of that range.

Wait... you can see Dragon Tail from I90?? I've been on the right side of the ridgeline and didn't see I-90 from it...
Xbalanque_ t1_j9z2b75 wrote
Yes, you can.. But Dragontail is not in this pic, its several miles to the right of the photo area.
Xbalanque_ t1_j9z2qo2 wrote
You cannot see Dragontail in that pic, and it is not just to the right of Stuart anyway. Sherpa, Argonaut, Colchuck, then Dragontail Annapurna and McClellan, are to the right/east of Stuart. Sherpa would be in this pic but a tree is in front of it. Also, the Enchantments is the name for the high lake basin to the north of the Stuart range between Dragontail and McClellan.

Interesting bit of trivia, Claude Rusk, a pioneer mountain climber in the area, described how he roped up to climb Mt Stuart: He grabbed the end of the rope in one hand :):). My how techniques have changed.

Thanks, that makes sense. I've only ever seen Dragontail from the other side facing south.
Cwell242 t1_ja20j9p wrote
Right! Thanks for the correction.

I believe that is Mount Stuart with Dragon tail being just to the right of it. The Stuart range (Enchantments as they are also known) is home to Mount Stuart, the second highest non-volcanic peak in the state. Great view just north of Cle Elum from either I-90 or up US 97.
