Sinister Peak (8,440 feet (2,570 m)) is in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie and Wenatchee National Forests in the U.S. state of Washington.[4] Not quite 1 mi (1.6 km) east of Dome Peak, Sinister Peak is along a high ridge connecting the two peaks. The Chickamin Glacier is on the north slopes of Sinister Peak while the Garden Glacier is just southeast. Though some of the routes to the summit are technical, it can be reached by a moderate scramble.[3]
