Nodoubt Peak is a remote 7,290-foot (2,220-metre) mountain summit in the Skagit Range of the North Cascades of Washington state.[2] Nodoubt Peak is situated in North Cascades National Park, 2.2 kilometres south of the Canada–United States border. The nearest higher peak is Canuck Peak, 1.43 mi (2.30 km) to the southeast, and Mount Redoubt rises 3.04 mi (4.89 km) also to the southeast of Nodoubt.[1] Nodoubt Peak was named by a group of geologists who climbed the peak in 1967.[2] The toponym is a word play on Mount Redoubt's name. Precipitation runoff from Nodoubt Peak drains into tributaries of the Chilliwack River.
