A state board has formally approved a name for a previously nameless mountain in Whatcom County.
The state Board of Natural Resources announced the naming of Kloke Peak, which can be seen from Highway 9 in Acme.
The peak was named after Dallas Kloke, the first person who successfully summitted the mountain in 1972.
Kloke was a mountaineer from Anacortes who was tragically killed in an accident in the North Cascades in 2010.
The name was submitted to the state Board of Natural Resources by fellow climbers who wanted to honor his achievements.
