Mount Rahm (8,480+ ft (2,580+ m)) is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington. Located in the northern section of the park, Mount Rahm is less than .25 mi (0.40 km) south of the Canada–United States border, just north of Silver Lake, and 2 mi (3.2 km) north-northeast of Mount Spickard. The peak is estimated to be between 8,485 and 8,525 ft (2,586 and 2,598 m) above sea level, and it sits at the northeastern end of Custer Ridge. Mount Rahm was named after Dr. David Allan Rahm (1931–1976), author and professor, who published and lectured about the geology of the surrounding area.
