The age of Mount Washington is probably no more than a few 100,000 years, similar to that of other central High Cascade stratovolcanoes. During the late Pleistocene, cirques were excavated into the flanks of the summit cone by valley glaciers which extended more than 12 kilometers east and west. The is no evidence of recent reactivation of Mount Washington volcanism, but a series of aligned small basaltic andesite spatter cones erupted on the northeast flank approximately 1,330 years ago
Access to the Mount Washington Wilderness is restricted to foot trails. The west and southwest sides of the mountain are crossed by the Skyline Trail, 5 kilometers from a trailhead at Big Lake, near U. S. 20. The best long-distance viewpoints on main highways are from U.S. 20 near Blue Lake and from Oregon 242 at Windy Point.
