Johnson Mountain is a 6,721-foot (2,049-metre) mountain summit located in the Glacier Peak Wilderness of the North Cascades in Washington state.[4] The mountain is situated in eastern Snohomish County, in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The nearest higher peak is White Mountain, 3.3 mi (5.3 km) to the northeast, along with Indian Head Peak 3.38 mi (5.44 km) to the east.[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Sauk River.
