Pyramid Peak (Pierce County, Washington)

Pyramid Peak is a 6,937-foot (2,114-metre) mountain summit located in Mount Rainier National Park in Pierce County of Washington state.

Pyramid Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.

[4] Most weather fronts originating in the Pacific Ocean travel northeast toward the Cascade Mountains.

As a result, the west side of the Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.

[4] Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in high avalanche danger.
