Description
WikipediaGarfield Mountain, also known as Mount Garfield, is a multi-peak summit located in King County of Washington state. It is located on the western edge of the Cascade Range and is within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness on land managed by Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Mount Garfield is more notable for its large, steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Snoqualmie River. Topographic relief is significant as it rises over 4,400 feet (1,300 meters) above the river in approximately one mile. The mountain's toponym honors James A. Garfield, the 20th President of the United States.
