**Daemon Peak** is a mountain located in the [Hozameen Range](/source/Hozameen_Range) of the [North Cascades](/source/North_Cascades).[2] It rises approximately 11 miles south of the [Canada–United States border](/source/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_border), and 8 miles from [Ross Lake](/source/Ross_Lake_(Washington)). Located in the [Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest](/source/Okanogan%E2%80%93Wenatchee_National_Forest),[1] the summit is located about 10 miles north of [Washington State Route 20](/source/Washington_State_Route_20).[3]

## Etymology

Daemon Peak is the [tallest peak in Washington](/source/List_of_mountain_peaks_of_Washington) that does not have an official name.[4] The generally accepted name in the climbing community was given by Dr. John Roper, as he described the peak as "like the being between Heaven and Earth", and that the peak was close to many other prominent geographical features that are named after the devil, including Devil's Dome, Devil's Creek, and Devil's Park.[2][5]

## Geography

It is about 7,516 ft (2291 m) in height.[2] The environment surrounding the peak is a *[Dsc](/source/Subarctic_climate)* Köppen climate,[6] characterized by little [precipitation](/source/Precipitation) during dry season, and heavy snowfall in winter.
