About
Mount Storm King is a prominent peak in Olympic National Park, rising to 4,534 feet above Lake Crescent on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Its address places it at Lake Crescent, WA 98363, in the United States, and it is the kind of landmark that many visitors come to the park to see from the water's edge before deciding whether to climb it.
What the visit involves
The mountain is popular with hikers, who come for its challenging trail and for the views that open up from the summit. The climb is a demanding one, so it suits people who are comfortable on steep, sustained ascents and who arrive prepared with suitable footwear, water and an understanding of the conditions on the day. Those who prefer a gentler outing can still enjoy the setting, since the peak dominates the views across the lake.
The lake and the surrounding area
Mount Storm King looks down on Lake Crescent, so the lake is an obvious companion to any trip. Visitors often combine a walk or a drive around the shoreline with their time on the mountain. The wider park offers a range of forests, lakes and mountain scenery, making it easy to build a full day or several days around this single destination.
