I always feel it’s underrated, not the tallest but cool shape

Growing up I always thought it was three fingers mountain but Mt Baring is technically correct

Great hiking objective. People BASE jump off the taller peak.

It is an awesome hike, though quite strenuous with 3,500 feet of gain in 3.5 miles. It’s the 3rd steepest mountain in WA. There are also climbing routes along the north face. Unfortunately the whole area will be closed until at least the beginning of 2024, due to the Bolt Creek fire. While people do base jump from the summit, it is illegal to do so. There have been accidents and several deaths.

Side thought, living in the east side of the state. Every time we stopped in north bend. The views were amazing.

The tattoo on my bicep is based on that peak. Really great memories while growing up in the Skykomish River area(near Gold Bar)

I didn’t know the actually name of the mountain but is this in the Tatoosh Range?

I did too. Or I guess I always heard it as three sisters? Is that a different mountain altogether? I feel dumb now since I grew up in Snohomish and now live here again and have seen these mountains a million times.

There are some really good peak identification apps for phones that use the camera. I've been using PeakFinder for years - but it is a paid app. I can't recommend any of the free ones.
