Pyramid Peak is a 3,000 foot mountain located high above Lake Crescent's north face. It contains the ruins of an old fire lookout at the summit. It dominates the view from Barnes Point and Lake Crescent Lodge. It is accessible by trail from the Spruce Railroad Trail. On a clear day, Mount Baker is visible in the Cascade Range across the Puget Sound.

From the summit, it is easy to see the landslide that blocked Indian Creek (Washington) and dammed Lake Crescent. Below the landslide is Lake Sutherland and the Indian Creek valley down to the Elwha River.
