Mount Johnson is a summit in the Olympic Mountains and is located in Jefferson County of Washington state. It is situated within Olympic National Park and the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness. At 7,680 feet (2,341 m) high, Mount Johnson is the fourth-highest peak of the Olympic Mountains, after Mount Olympus, Mount Deception, and Mount Constance.^[1] It is the highest peak in The Needles range which is a subset of the Olympic range. The nearest higher neighbor is Mount Deception, 1.34 mi (2.16 km) to the south.^[1] Mount Johnson is set in the eastern portion of the Olympic Mountains within the drainage basin of the Dungeness River. This location puts it in the rain shadow of the Olympic Range, resulting in less precipitation than Mount Olympus and the western Olympics receive.
