Mount Dana is a 6,213 feet (1,894 m) mountain summit in Jefferson County of Washington state. Set within Olympic National Park, it is part of the Bailey Range which is a subset of the Olympic Mountains. It was named in honor of Charles Dana who was an editor of The Sun, a New York newspaper.[5] Precipitation runoff from Mount Dana drains into the Elwha River, thence into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
