Monte Cristo Peak is a mountain peak in the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness in Washington. Monte Cristo Peak rises to 7,136 ft. above sea level. Together with Columbia Peak and Kyes Peak it forms a basin that contains Columbia Glacier and Blanca Lake. Monte Cristo is named for the mining boom town that formed in the late 19th and early 20th century on its North Western flanks.
