The story
Shull Mountain is a 7,841-foot (2,390-metre) double-summit mountain located in Whatcom County of Washington state, United States. The mountain is situated approximately one mile west of the Cascade crest in the Pasayten Wilderness, on land administered by Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest. Shull Mountain is part of the Hozameen Range which is a subset of the North Cascades. The rugged, ridge-like mountain's North Peak is the highest point, and the South Peak is about 50 feet lower at 7,791 feet, with about 0.38 mile separating the two peaks. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains to Ross Lake via Shull Creek, Trouble Creek, and Canyon Creek. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 1,000 feet (305 meters) above Shull Lake in one-half mile, 2,440 feet (744 meters) above Canyon Creek in one mile, and 3,600 feet (1,097 meters) above Shull Creek in two miles. The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
