The story

Ives Peak, elevation 7,920+ ft (2,410+ m), is located in the Goat Rocks on the border of Lewis and Yakima Counties, in the U.S. state of Washington. Ives Peak is within the Goat Rocks Wilderness and the McCall Glacier on its eastern slopes. Additionally, the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail is near the west slopes of the peak. Precipitation runoff from the peak's east slope drains to the Tieton River, whereas the west slope drains into the Cispus River. Ives Peak ranks as the fourth-highest peak in the Goat Rocks Wilderness.
