Mount Ann, Baker Area

Mt. Ann is bounded by Swift Creek on the west and north and Shuksan Creek on the east. Both of these creeks drain to Baker Lake. Shuksan Creek heads at Lake Ann northeast of the summit. Another highpoint on the ridge just east of the summit is known as "Han Peak." The mountain is moderately rugged--more so at its lower southern flanks than its upper northern flanks.
