Welch Peaks

Welch Peaks is a 6,110-foot (1,862-metre) mountain in the eastern Olympic Mountains in Jefferson County of Washington state, United States. It is set within Buckhorn Wilderness, on land managed by the Olympic National Forest. The nearest higher neighbor is Mount Townsend, 1.2 mi (1.9 km) to the north, and Mount Worthington rises 2.1 mi (3.4 km) to the southwest. Precipitation runoff from Welch Peaks drains into tributaries of the Big Quilcene River, and Silver Creek which is a tributary of the Dungeness River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3,100 feet (945 m) above Townsend Creek in approximately one mile. The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1963 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
