Jumbo Peak is a 5,801 ft (1,770 m) volcanic mountain summit located in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, in Skamania County of Washington state.[3] It is situated in the Cascade Range, 15 mi (24 km) northwest of Mount Adams, 20 mi (32 km) east-northeast of Mount St. Helens, and 38 mi (61 km) south of Mount Rainier. Its nearest higher neighbor is Sunrise Peak, 1.7 mi (2.7 km) to the north-northeast.[1] Precipitation runoff from Jumbo Peak drains into tributaries of the Cowlitz River drainage basin.
