The story
White Chuck Mountain, or native name Hi Khaed, is a 6,989 ft (2,130 m) summit near the western edge of the North Cascades, in Snohomish County of Washington state. It is located southeast of Darrington, Washington, east of the Mountain Loop Highway, and northwest of Glacier Peak, which is one of the Cascade stratovolcanoes. It is situated at the confluence of the White Chuck River and the Sauk River on land administered by the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The mountain is named for the White Chuck River, which "chuck" in Chinook Jargon means "water". The nearest higher neighbor is Mount Pugh, 4.9 miles (7.9 km) to the south-southeast.
