context_page_description: Mount Spickard is a 8,980-foot mountain peak in the North Cascades, a mountain range in the U.S. state of Washington. Located just 2 miles south of the Canada–US border, it is part of the Chilliwack Group, a subrange of the Skagit Range which is part of the North Cascades. It is composed mainly of gneiss and is part of two major drainage basins: that of the Skagit River and Fraser River.
  With a topographic prominence of over 4,700 feet, Mount Spickard is one of the most prominent peaks in the state, and has two minor summits. The mountain was named for a climber who fell to his death while ascending another nearby mountain peak. However, the first to ascend Mount Spickard was Walter B. Reaburn, in 1904.
