Bald Eagle Peak is a 6,259-foot (1,908-metre) mountain summit located 7.4 mi (11.9 km) southeast of Skykomish, in eastern King County of Washington state.[4] It's part of the Cascade Range, and is situated in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, on land managed by Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains into tributaries of the Foss River. This peak is set on the divide between the east and west forks of Foss River. The nearest neighbor is Silver Eagle Peak, 1.1 mi (1.8 km) to the southwest, and Bald Eagle Lake lies in a cirque midway between the pair.[1] The first ascent of this peak was made in 1933 by Hermann Ulrichs and Ben Falkenburg via the North Ridge.[2] This mountain's toponym and correct location was officially adopted September 8, 1988, by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.[4] Some older maps will have this peak erroneously labeled at Silver Eagle Peak's location.
