funny place names

The Cascades are well known for the colorful names assigned to various features (Despair, Forbidden, Damnation, etc.). What are some of your favorites? They certainly don't have to be in this area. I think my favorite so far is Skookumpuss peak near Manlywham Campground (along the shores of Lk. Chelan).

Darn, I thought of those two immediately when I read the thread title. The CG is actually pronounced Manley WhOm- (rhymes with Tom) and was named for a former local doctor. Don't forget La Wis Wis near Mt. Rainier.

I gotta put a vote in for Squaw's Tit. It may not be the most creative or unique but it definately has its bragging rights. It sits right beside Chinaman's Peak, which was changed to Hang-li Peak because it was offensive, yet still stands proud known only as Squaw's tit.

What about Feces Lake outside of Yakima?

I thought that Spread Eagle Peak, UT is a good one. It's got a page on summitpost:

Hey that's "Annis" Road.

Lickman Road at the other end of town, though, that's an odd one. Or Hawkins Pickle Road off Highway 7.

Chilliwack is a pretty funny name all by itself.
