Deadwood Peak is a 6,280-foot-elevation (1,914 meter) mountain summit located on the eastern border of
Washington state. Deadwood Peak is set on the crest of the Cascade Range, immediately north of Yakima Peak and Chinook Pass, with the Pacific Crest Trail traversing its east slope. Its nearest higher peak is Naches Peak, 0.59 mi (0.95 km) to the southeast.[1] Deadwood Peak takes its name from Deadwood Lakes[3] and Deadwood Creek[4] to its northwest, and their names came from the large number of downed trees in the area. From Chinook Pass, a short scramble up the south side leads to the summit with unobstructed views of Mount Rainier
.
Climate
