Luahna Peak is an 8,445-foot (2,574-metre) double summit mountain located in the Glacier Peak Wilderness of the North Cascades in Washington state. The true summit is 8,445 feet in elevation, and the northwest subpeak is 8,369 feet.[1] The mountain is situated in Chelan County, in the Wenatchee National Forest. Luahna Peak is the second highest in the Dakobed Range after Clark Mountain which is 1.04 mi (1.67 km) to the southeast, and Luahna lies 6.95 mi (11.18 km) southeast of Glacier Peak.[1] The Richardson Glacier lies to the southeast of the summit, with the Pilz Glacier and Butterfly Glacier stretching across the northern slope. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into the White River and Napeequa River, both tributaries of the Wenatchee River. The first ascent of the summit was made on August 13, 1911, by Rodney Glisan, H.H. Prouty, Winthrop Stone, C.W. Whittlesey, all of whom were members of the Mazamas.[2]
