Mount Constance Details
Mount Constance is a peak in the Olympic Mountains and the third highest in the range. It is the most visually prominent peak on Seattle's western skyline. Despite being almost as tall as the ice-clad Mount Olympus to the west, Mount Constance has little in the way of glaciers and permanent snow due to the fact that the eastern, and particularly the northeastern, portion of the Olympics receives far less precipitation. In addition, the treeline here is higher than points to the west, also hinting at the drier conditions here. By virtue of its position at the eastern edge of the Olympics, Mount Constance enjoys spectacular vertical relief. For example, it rises over 6,900 feet above the Dosewallips River to the south in only 3 horizontal miles. It is also only 12 miles from the tidewater of Hood Canal. The summit of Mount Constance lies on the boundary between Olympic National Park and Buckhorn Wilderness. The Constance massif includes Mount Constance, Inner Constance, the twin peaks of Warrior and Warrior's Arm. In 1853, surveyor George Davidson named three mountains in the Olympics. He named Mount Ellinor for Ellinor Fauntleroy, who later became his wife, Mount Constance for Ellinor's older sister, and The Brothers for her two brothers. Source: Wikipedia
