Mount Noyes (Washington)

Mount Noyes is a 6,173-foot (1,882 m) mountain summit located deep within Olympic National Park in Jefferson County of Washington state.

[5] Topographic relief is significant as the east, west, and south aspects of the peak each rise 2,200 feet (670 m) in approximately one mile.

The mountain was named during the 1889-90 Seattle Press Expedition to honor Crosby Stuart Noyes (1825-1908), the publisher of the Washington Evening Star.

As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Olympic Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall (Orographic lift).

[9] The mountains were sculpted during the Pleistocene era by erosion and glaciers advancing and retreating multiple times.
