Tyler Peak is a 6364feet mountain summit located in Clallam County of Washington state, United States. It is situated in the northeastern Olympic Mountains, near the northern end of Gray Wolf Ridge, and is set within Buckhorn Wilderness, on land managed by the Olympic National Forest. The next highest neighbor is Mt. Baldy, two miles to the west.
Precipitation runoff from Tyler Peak drains into tributaries of the Dungeness River, and topographic relief is significant as the east aspect rises above the river in approximately . Old-growth forests of Douglas fir, western hemlock, and western redcedar grow on the lower slopes surrounding the peak. Like the nearby town of Sequim to the north, Tyler Peak lies in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.[4]
Tyler Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.[6] Weather fronts originating in the Pacific Ocean travel northeast toward the Olympic Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snow. As a result, the Olympics experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.[7] Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in avalanche danger. During winter months weather is usually cloudy, but due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.[7] The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing this peak.[2]
