Big Craggy Peak is a prominent 8,478-foot (2,584-metre) mountain summit in western Okanogan County of Washington state, USA.[1] It is part of the Okanogan Range which is a subrange of the North Cascades. This remote mountain is located 12.5 mi (20.1 km) north-northeast of Mazama on land administered by the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest. Big Craggy has two subsidiary peaks, North Peak (8,205-ft), and West Craggy (8,372-ft), the latter set on the Pasayten Wilderness boundary. The nearest higher peak is Monument Peak, 10 miles (16 km) to the west-northwest.[3] Big Craggy Peak ranks 60th on Washington's highest 100 peaks, and 62nd on the "Bulger List".[3] Precipitation runoff from Big Craggy drains into Eightmile Creek which is a tributary of the Chewuch River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 4,400 feet (1,300 meters) above Eightmile Creek in 1.25 mile (2 km).
