Bedal Peak is a 6,554-foot-elevation (1,998-meter) mountain summit located in the North Cascades, in Snohomish County of Washington state. The mountain is situated in the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness, on land managed by the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The nearest higher neighbor is the line parent Sloan Peak, 2 mi (3.2 km) to the south-southeast. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains west to the South Fork Sauk River via Bedal Creek, as well as north and east into tributaries of the North Fork. The north and south forks merge at the northwest base of the mountain to form the Sauk River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 5,250 feet (1,600 meters) above the Sauk River Valley and Mountain Loop Highway in approximately two miles.
