Mt. Carrie is the highest mountain in the Bailey Range of the Olympic Mountains. It is famous by sight if not by name. From the visitor's center on Hurricane Ridge, Mt. Carrie is the huge, glaciated peak that seems so close you can touch it.
Although just shy of 7,000 feet, Mt. Carrie intercepts the majority of storms rolling in off the Pacific, and the resulting high snowfall has led to the creation of two substantial glaciers on Mt. Carrie's flanks Carrie Glacer and Fairchild Glacier.
