Mount Challenger (8,207 feet (2,501 m)) is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington.[3] A difficult peak to approach due to its isolation, one of the most common routes to the summit involves ascending the Challenger Glacier on the north slopes of the peak.[4][5] Mount Challenger is one of the taller peaks of the Picket Range.
