Mox Peaks (8,630 feet (2,630 m)) is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington.[3] Located in the northern section of the park, Mox Peaks consist of several summits in close proximity to each other that are nearly the same altitude, but the highest point is the eastern peak. Mox Peaks West looms just to the southeast of Redoubt Glacier and is at the southern terminus of a long arête which extends 1.75 mi (2.82 km) to Mount Spickard to the northeast. A deep col lies between Mox Peaks High Point and Mox Peaks West.
