Dirty Harry's Peak is a mountain in the state of Washington. It is named for Harry Gault, who once logged the mountain.[2] It is located in the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Natural Resources Conservation Area, near the Washington State Fire Training Academy.[3] [4] The mountain has an elevation of and lies along a ridgeline including Mailbox Peak and Dirtybox Peak (the parent peak of both mountains, and a portmanteau of their names).[5]
The hike to the peak includes a popular viewpoint named Dirty Harry's Balcony, elevation,[6] with views of surrounding mountains and I-90.[7] Further along the trail is Gault's abandoned truck, known as "Dirty Harry's Museum."[8] [9] The summit can be accessed either through the official trail, or a scramble along the ridgeline including Mailbox and Dirtybox.
