The story
Kaleetan Peak is a prominent 6,259-foot (1,908-metre) mountain summit located in King County of Washington state. It's part of the Cascade Range and is situated four miles northwest of Snoqualmie Pass. Kaleetan Peak is set within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness on land managed by Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. It's immediately west of Melakwa Pass and Chair Peak, and north of Melakwa Lake. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Snoqualmie River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 2,400 feet (730 m) above Kaleetan Lake in 0.6 mi (0.97 km). The nearest higher peak is Snoqualmie Mountain, 2.89 miles (4.65 km) to the east. The mountain's name "Kaleetan" derives from Chinook Jargon which means "arrow". The peak was named by members of The Mountaineers and the toponym was officially adopted in 1916 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
