Arrowhead is one of the two highest peaks in the remote Chiwaukums Range. There is no easy approach to the mountain. Most parties will do this as an overnight trip. Arrowhead is most easily approached from Icicle Creek Canyon via Chatter Creek. The climb up Chatter Creek itself is 4000'. Once into the Chiwaukums, the spectacular East face provides 3000' descents.
