Mount Cameron (Washington)
Mount Cameron is a triple-summit mountain located within Olympic National Park in Jefferson County of Washington state. Mount Cameron is situated 21 miles southwest of Sequim, and set within the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness. Topographic relief is significant as the southeast aspect rises over above the Dosewallips River in approximately one mile. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains south into the Dosewallips River, north to the Gray Wolf River via Cameron Creek, and west into headwaters of Lost River. Neighbors include line parent Mount Deception, to the east, and proximate parent Mount Johnson, to the east. Etymology This landform's name was officially adopted in 1969 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. This mountain, Cameron Pass, Cameron Glaciers, Cameron Creek, and Cameron Basin are named after Amos Benson Cameron (1872-1951), an early settler of this area who homesteaded for 41 years in the Deer Park area with his wife and 14 children. He pioneered the first trail into Cameron Basin. Climate Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Cameron is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.
