Dishpan Gap

Dishpan Gap is a cinder cone[1] in Chelan County of Washington, USA. Located near Glacier Peak and White Chuck Cinder Cone,[2] its elevation is approximately 5,600 ft (1,707 m).[3]

Known for his creative naming of natural features in the Cascade Range, forest supervisor Albert Hale Sylvester named Dishpan Gap for the presence of a "old rusty dishpan discarded by some previous camper".[4]
