| OlympicMtnBoy | Good job | |
Hasn't voted | I like your page. You seemed to figure everything out pretty well. The only suggestion I would make would be to get another image without the person in the photo for your main photo of the mountain, if you have one. I really enjoyed reading about this new area! Great work:) | |

| Klenke | Moose BM | |
Hasn't voted | This is a popular viewpoint and a worthy addition to this site. Some edits: 1. Please add topozone coordinates: 47.8841 -123.3662 2. The peak is actually 6760+ (see above topozone link and this link). The BM there is 6753 but just below the summit. 3. Pk 6760+ would be more appropriate for the name, but "Moose BM (Pk 6760+)" would be even better. | |

Hasn't voted | Let's petition for the new name! It immediately brings a smile to my face. I have not seen the peak named Moose before. Thank you for the added information. I will add it pronto. My husband has had his GPS along many times but hasn't felt the peak 'worthy'. Have you seen a brassy on top? We have never seen it. Perhaps we were gazing at the views more than looking for data. | |

Hasn't voted | I haven't been there myself. The map shows a benchmark ("brassy") several paces west of and below the top; so unless you specifically went looking for it, you may not see it. The benchmark will have MOOSE stamped on it. The elevation 6753 is the elevation of this benchmark. If an unofficially named peak or point should have a named benchmark on or very near to its summit, it is somewhat standard to refer to that peak or point by the name on the benchmark, in this case "Moose BM". But, there may actually be a more official unofficial name that supersedes Moose BM. If there is, I don't know of it. | |

Hasn't voted | I have looked through our library of books on the Olympics as well as maps and concluded we needed a new map. No mention of Moose BM. I went shopping and picked up Custom Correct Map, Elwha Valley as well as the Green Trail Map, Hurricane Ridge/Elwha north No. 1345 and what do you know? Peak 6753 is labeled Moose 6753 now-a-days. Hmmm. I'll have to look at all of our pre-1990 maps now. Thank you for the information. I'm still planning on finding that BM! | |

Voted 10/10 | I'm jealous! Great page, by the way. We don't have any MOOSE living in Arizona. Guess it's too hot for the rascals. If I want to be anywhere CLOSE to a moose, I have to go to northern Utah. Hey, I just might decide to do that! - Larry | |

Hasn't voted | Sorry Larry. No moose in the Olympics. Why Moose lake and Moose BM, I haven't the foggiest idea. There are moose in northern Utah? I need to check it out. Trina | |

Voted 10/10 | Legend has it that Moose Lake and Peak got there name from a horse named Moose that belonged to a park ranger a really long time ago. Not sure of the validity of that story, but it works for me. | |

Hasn't voted | Thank you for your version of Moose Peak's namesake. I haven't heard that story before.... Interesting. I'll have to inquire a bit. | |

Hasn't voted | Thank you for the comment. Gimpilator took a great photo of the black bear. Usually we see bears in the distance, not up close. | |
