Raven Ridge[3] is a 8,572-foot (2,613-metre) mountain ridge located in the Methow Mountains, a sub-range of the North Cascades in Washington state. It is protected by the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness within the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest. The highest point of Raven Ridge is Corax Peak on the east end.[2] Libby Peak (8555 ft) is the high point on the west end of Raven Ridge.[1] The nearest higher peak is Star Peak, 4.53 miles (7.29 km) to the west.[1] Hoodoo Peak lies one mile to the north. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Methow River, which is a tributary of the Columbia River.
