Eldorado Peak is Located in the North Cascades National Park. The legendary and personal friend, Fred Beckey, calls this peak "Queen of the Cascade River" considering that it is in the middle of a collection of beautiful peaks and holds one of the largest largest contiguous ice-sheet in the lower 48 states not connected to a volcano, the summit has a Andean like splendor owing to its remoteness, position, and knife-edge summit ridge. The climb is not technically difficult, but provides a rugged adventure deep into iconic North Cascades experience. Views into Marble Creek, Dorado Needle, Forbidden Peak, Mount Buckner, Logan, Johannesburg and other prominent Cascades Peaks. It is an exhilarating summit experience, the ridge gives one a feeling of being out in the true alpine environment. This is a mountain that any mountaineer visiting the Pacific Northwest really should see and climb it!
