Description
WikipediaCorteo Peak is an 8,107-foot (2,471-metre) mountain summit located on the eastern boundary line of North Cascades National Park in Washington state. It is situated west of Rainy Pass in the North Cascades Range. Remnants of the retreating Lewis Glacier hang on its north flank. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 3,200 feet (980 meters) above Maple Creek in one mile (1.6 km) and 2,400 feet (730 meters) above Lewis Lake in one-half mile (0.8 km). The nearest higher peak is Black Peak, 1.67 miles (2.69 km) to the northwest. Corteo Peak and nearby Mount Benzarino were named by Forest Service surveyor, Lage Wernstedt, after Basque sheepherders he met near these two mountains.
