It is set on the crest of the Cascade Range, on land managed by Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.[4] Silver Peak is situated 4.5 miles southwest of Snoqualmie Pass, and three miles west of Keechelus Lake. The Pacific Crest Trail traverses its east flank and provides easiest access. The nearest higher peak is Granite Mountain, {{convert|3.98|mi|km}} to the north-northwest.[1] Precipitation runoff on the east side of the mountain drains into Cold Creek, a tributary of the Yakima River, whereas the west side of the mountain drains into the South Fork Snoqualmie River via Humpback Creek. ClimateSilver Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.[5] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel northeast toward the Cascade Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift). As a result, the west side of the Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. 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.[6] Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in high avalanche danger.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite peakbagger|2218|Silver Peak, Washington}} 2. ^{{cite peakbagger|2218|Silver Peak, Washington}} 3. ^{{cite peakbagger|2218|Silver Peak, Washington}} 4. ^{{cite peakbagger|2218|Silver Peak, Washington}} 5. ^Beckey, Fred W.
