Mount Index · WikipediaCC BY-SA

Mount Index is a peak in the central part of the Cascade Range in King County, Washington, United States. It lies just south of the Skykomish River and U.S. Route 2, at the western edge of the Cascades. Mount Index features a low elevation relative to peaks higher in the Cascades, and a topographic prominence. It comprises three pointed spires which rise steeply from a very low base. The main peak is the southernmost of the three, while the North Peak rises even more steeply above the valley. For example, it rises more than 4,250 ft (1,300 m) above the lower slopes on the northeast side in less than 1 horizontal mile (1.6 km).
