Ruth Peak is a 6,850+ ft (2,090+ m) glaciated mountain summit located within Olympic National Park in Clallam County of Washington state.

The first ascent of this peak was made in 1961 by Bert Brown, Roy Etten, and Victor Nelson.

Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel northeast toward the Olympic Mountains.

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).

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