Strange things apparently occur at Stevens Pass. After all when you have a summit nearby unofficially called Welldiggers Ass you are going to think that things are very weird. To go with the thing of strange and weird things the locals nearby decided to name the sub-peak to the west of it Mount Weird. I would not believe expect that I saw a sign on Welldiggers Ass point to the other summit and named it Mount Weird. The unofficially named Mount Weird only has 140 feet of prominence but has recently gain popularity as a good second destination to Welldiggers Ass. This peak should only be done in winter when there is a lot snow. It is a good snowshoe destination with prime access off of Highway 2.
The true summit itself barely has any views because it is completely forested. One can if they search get somewhat of a view to the north but this is very limited. However if one head a hundred feet to the east they can see an excellent view of Welldiggers Ass and Jim Hill. It should be noted that the gap between Mount Weird and Welldiggers Ass also has excellent view of the surrounding area.
There is really no reason to camp on Mount Weird. It is close to the highway and is now becoming a snowshoe destination
