Description
WikipediaBessemer Mountain is a 5,166-foot-elevation (1,575-meter) mountain summit located in King County of Washington state. It is situated at the western edge of the Cascade Range, on land managed by Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Bessemer Mountain is more notable for its large, steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation. Topographic relief is significant as the south aspect rises over 4,200 feet (1,300 meters) above Middle Fork Snoqualmie River in two miles. Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains into tributaries of the Snoqualmie River.
