Mount Redoubt is a mountain in the North Cascades in Whatcom County , Washington state . The summit is located approximately 3.0 mi (4.8 km) south of the border between Canada and the United States and 16.3 mi (26.2 km) east-northeast of Mount Shuksan . It is number 21 on Washington's list of tallest mountains at 8,956 ft (2,730 m) altitude; the notch height is 1,649 ft (503 m). Mt. Redoubt is part of the Skagit Range , a sub-chain of the North Cascades; it belongs together with Mount Spickard , Mount Custer , Mox Peaks and others to the Custer-Chilliwack group. Redoubt, Bear and Depot Creek drain the mountain, which consists of Skagit gneiss . Mount Redoubt is on the list of "Classic Eight Peaks" in the North Cascades.

The mountain lies within the Stephen Mather Wilderness of the North Cascades National Park, a remote area away from any human settlement, and is therefore difficult to reach. It was first climbed in 1930 by Jimmy Cherry and Bob Ross. The next higher peak is Mount Spickard , (8,979 ft (2,737 m)), which is 2.9 mi (4.7 km) east-southeast. The height of the notch of Mt. Spickard is much greater than that of Mt. Redoubt. The Redoubt Glacier lies on the eastern slopes of the mountain, smaller unnamed glaciers on its north side.

There is a smaller mountain 2.9 mi (4.7 km) northwest of Mount Redoubt, Nodoubt Peak, the name of which is a pun on the name of the larger one. Nodoubt Peak was named by a group of geologists who climbed the summit in 1967.
