=Bee Flat.= In the northwestern portion of the Park, just south of Chenuis Mountain.
=Beehive.= Large rock on the southeast slope. It was named by Major E.
S. Ingraham in 1888, who says: "It reminded me of one of those old-fashioned beehives." Elevation, 11,033 feet above sea level.
=Beljica.= An interesting peak near the road leading from Ashford to the Park. The name is a composite made up of initials. In July, 1897, a party of nine young people visiting the peak provided the name. The B was for Burgon D. Mesler, the e for any one of three--Elizabeth Drabe, Elizabeth Sharp and Elizabeth Mesler, the l for Lucy K.
LaWall, the j for Jessie K. LaWall, the i for Isabel Mesler, the c for Clara Mesler, and the a for Alexander Mesler.

=Berkeley Park.= In the north-central portion of the Park, between Burroughs and Skysc.r.a.per Mountains. Origin of name not ascertained.
=Berry Peak.= In the northwestern corner of the Park.
=Boulder Creek.= A tributary of Ohanapecosh River, in the park of the same name, on the eastern slope of the mountain.
=Boundary Peak.= Appropriately named, as it lies on the southern boundary line of the Park.
=Brown Peak.= In the northeastern corner of the Park.
=Buel Peak.= Near the east-central boundary of the Park. Origin of name not ascertained. Elevation, 5,933 feet above sea level.
=Burnt Park.= In the northeastern corner of the Park.
=Burroughs Mountain.= On the northeast slope. It was named for the naturalist and was at first called John Burroughs Mountain.
=b.u.t.ter Creek.= Flowing from the Tatoosh Range across the southern boundary of the Park.

Elevation, 9,000 feet above sea level.
=Camp Delight.= See Camp of the Stars.
=Camp Misery.= On the southern slope of the mountain at the base of the Beehive. The name is descriptive. Elevation, 11,033 feet above sea level.
=Camp Muir.= On the southeast slope. Named by Major E. S. Ingraham, in honor of the naturalist, John Muir, who selected the temporary camping place during their ascent in 1888, because the presence of pumice indicated a shelter from strong winds. Elevation, 10,062 feet above sea level.
=Camp No Camp.= On the southeastern slope, near the summit of the mountain. It is in the saddle near the summit of Gibraltar. The name indicates a disappointed attempt at rest. Elevation, 12,550 feet above sea level.
=Camp of the Clouds.= On the south slope above Paradise Valley. Named on August 12, 1886, by Charles E. Kehoe, Charles A. Billings and George N. Talcott of Olympia. During their visit there the heavy banks of clouds parted and gave them a superb mountain view. Elevation, 5,947 feet above sea level.
=Camp of the Stars.= On the southeastern slope of the mountain, near the foot of Gibraltar. It is a narrow shelf of rocks, affording s.p.a.ce for a dozen climbers when crowded together and "feet hanging over." It was used by one of the Ingraham parties, and H. E. Holmes says they at first called it Camp Delight on account of their joy at the first rays of morning. Elevation, about 12,000 feet above sea level.
=Canyon Bridge.= In the southeastern part of the Park. The Muddy Fork of the Cowlitz River rushes through a very narrow and deep rift in the rocks. The spanning bridge gives an attractive view.
=Carbon Glacier.= This glacier begins at the foot of Willis Wall on the north face of the mountain.
=Carbon River.= About 1876 coal was discovered on the banks of this river suggesting the name, which was also later given to the glacier from which the river has its source.
=Carter Falls.= One of the beautiful features of the lower Paradise River. Named for an early guide who built the first trail to Paradise Valley. For years the Longmires collected a fee of fifty cents from each one using the trail. It was willingly paid when it was explained that the money went to the builder of the trail.
=Castle Rock.= In the northwestern portion of the Park. Named from its resemblance to an old castle. Elevation, 6,116 feet above sea level.
=Cataract Basin.= See Mist Park.
=Cataract Creek.= Flows from Mist Park to the Carbon River in the northwestern portion of the Park. About midway in its course are the beautiful Cataract Falls.
=Cathedral Rocks.= Extending southeast from the summit. It is an extensive cleaver between the upper Cowlitz and Ingraham Glaciers. Who first suggested the name has not been ascertained. Elevation, 8,262 feet above sea level.
=Chenuis Mountain.= An extensive ridge near the northern boundary of the Park. On the shoulders of the mountain rest three little lakes called Chenuis Lakes. From the northern slopes of the mountain there rises Chenuis Creek, which, near its junction with the Carbon River at the northwestern boundary of the Park, produces the beautiful Chenuis Falls. The name seems to be Indian, but its origin has not been ascertained. Elevation of the ridge, from 4,000 to 6,000 feet above sea level.
=Christine Falls.= On the lower portion of Van Trump creek. Mr. Van Trump says the falls "were named after my daughter, Christine Louise, by a friend John Hayes, of Yelm." Elevation, 3,667 feet above sea level.
=Cliff Lake.= In the south-central portion of the Park, between the Tatoosh Range and the boundary.
=Clover Lakes.= In White River Park, in the northwestern part of the Park.
=Cold Basin.= In the northern portion of the Park, just south of Grand Park.
=Colonnade.= The ridge lying between the South Mowich and the Puyallup Glaciers on the west-central slope of the mountain.
=Columbia Crest.= Name suggested by H. E. Holmes of the Ingraham party in 1891. They had spent two nights in the crater and before leaving voted on a name for the highest part of the summit, with Columbia Crest as the result. It has occasionally been called The Dome. By Stevens and Van Trump it was called Crater Peak. Elevation, 14,408 feet above sea level.
=Comet Falls.= On the southern slope of the mountain, in Van Trump Park. Elevation, 5,200 feet above sea level.
=Cougar Falls.= Near the southern boundary of the Park, in the Nickel Creek tributary of the Cowlitz River.
=Cowlitz Chimneys.= Pointed and columnar rocks on the east-central slope. Though not adjacent to the glacier or river of that name, they undoubtedly got their name from one or the other. Elevation 7,607 feet above sea level.
=Cowlitz Cleaver.= Near the southern peak of the summit. It is appropriately named, as it cleaves the higher streams of ice part of which flow into Puget Sound and the rest into the Columbia River.
=Cowlitz Divide.= A ridge running from north to south in the southeastern corner of the Park.
=Cowlitz Glacier.= Named by General Hazard Stevens and P. B. Van Trump in 1870 when they discovered it to be the source of the river by that name. It has its beginning from a group of smaller glaciers on the southeast slope of the mountain. Above the glaciers lies Cowlitz Park.
=Cowlitz River.= The name appears as early as the Lewis and Clark reports, 1805-1806, where it is spelled Coweliskee. In varying forms it appears in the writings of all subsequent explorers. A tribe of Indians by that name inhabited its valleys. The river finally flows southward into the Columbia River.
=Cowlitz Rocks.= A ma.s.s of rocks on the southeast slope, between the Paradise and Cowlitz Glaciers. The rocks were named in 1907 by the veteran guide, Jules Stampfler, who found a name necessary to satisfy the curiosity of his companies of tourists. Elevation, 7,457 feet above sea level.
=Crater Lake.= On the northwest slope. Bailey Willis gave the name in 1883. He recently wrote: "The amphitheatres which the young geologist mistook for craters are now known to be glacier basins eroded by ice." Elevation, 4,929 feet above sea level.
=Crater Peak.= See Columbia Crest.
=Crescent Mountain.= On the northern slope. The name was used by Bailey Willis in 1883. Near the foot of this mountain lies Crescent Lake.
=Cress Falls.= In the northwestern portion of the Park, near Spukwush Creek.
