Tyler Peak is a 6,364 feet (1,940 m) mountain summit located in Clallam County of Washington state, United States. It is situated in the northeastern Olympic Mountains, near the northern end of Gray Wolf Ridge, and is set within Buckhorn Wilderness, on land managed by the Olympic National Forest. The next highest neighbor is Mt. Baldy, two miles to the west. Precipitation runoff from Tyler Peak drains into tributaries of the Dungeness River, and topographic relief is significant as the east aspect rises 4,350 feet (1,330 m) above the river in approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km). Old-growth forests of Douglas fir, western hemlock, and western redcedar grow on the lower slopes surrounding the peak. Like the nearby town of Sequim 12 miles (19 km) to the north, Tyler Peak lies in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
