The story
Lost Peak is a 6,515-foot-elevation (1,986-meter) mountain summit located within Olympic National Park in Jefferson County of Washington state. Part of the Olympic Mountains, Lost Peak is situated immediately northeast of Lost Pass, and is set within the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains east into the Dosewallips River, and west into the headwaters of the Lost River. Neighbors include line parent Mount Cameron, 0.8 mi (1.3 km) to the north, along with Mount Fromme and Mount Claywood, both 1.8 mi (2.9 km) to the southwest. Topographic relief is significant as the southeast aspect rises 2,500 feet (760 meters) above the Dosewallips River in approximately one mile. This landform's name has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The origin of the "Lost" name is unknown, but a park ranger once described the river area as a "good place to get lost" because of the confusing and difficult travel.
