Mount Pugh is a peak near the western edge of the North Cascades, in Washington state. It is located 12.2 miles (19.6 km) west of Glacier Peak, one of the Cascade stratovolcanoes. It rises out of the confluence of the White Chuck River and the Sauk River, giving it very low footings. For example, it rises 6,150 feet (1,875 m) above the Sauk River Valley in just over 2 horizontal miles (3.2 km); its rise over the White Chuck River is almost as dramatic. The mountain is named for John Pugh, who settled nearby, in 1891.
Mount Blum, or Mount Bald, is a 7,685-foot (2,342 m) summit of the North Cascades range in Washington state, on the western edge of North Cascades National Park.

Mount Ross is a 6,052 ft summit in the North Cascades Range of Washington, United States. It is located within North Cascades National Park and Stephen Mather Wilderness. It rises steeply from the North Cascades Highway and Newhalem, Washington which are both set at the southern foot of the mountain. Like many North Cascades peaks, Mount Ross is more notable for its large, steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation. Mount Ross honors James Delmage Ross (1872–1939), the superintendent of the Skagit River Hydroelectric Project. Ross Dam and Ross Lake also bear his name. Mount Ross was first climbed on August 17, 1969 by Jack Roper, Maurine Roper, and Jan Bergerson. The nearest higher peak is The Roost, 1.09 miles (1.75 km) to the north.

The normal climbing access is from the Owyhigh Lakes Trail. The peak was so named because it served as a barrier between the Cayuse Pass region and the rest of Mount Rainier National Park.
Mount Misch is a remote 7,435 ft mountain summit in the North Cascades, in Skagit County of Washington state. It is the highest point of the Buckindy Range, or Buckindy Ridge.

It is situated in the Glacier Peak Wilderness on land administered by the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Mount Misch was named by mountaineer and author Fred Beckey for his friend Peter Misch (1909-1987), University of Washington geology professor and mountaineer, who was renowned for his study of the North Cascades. Precipitation runoff from Mount Misch and the unnamed Goat Creek glacier on its east slope drains into tributaries of the Suiattle River and ultimately the Skagit River.
Goat Mountain is a 6,844 ft summit in the Skagit Range which is a subset of the North Cascades of Washington state. It is located south of Mount Larrabee and north of Mount Shuksan in the Mount Baker Wilderness, which is managed by the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
