I nominate Glacier Peak summit. High, isolated, centrally located, relatively small summit so as not to obscure the surroundings.
Any better candidates? What thinkest thou, Bulger completers ( of which I am not one)?
Edit: ' high' in original topic is referring to Bulger List. Otherwise perhaps Remmel, Lago, or Jack if just views of 'high peaks', with dozens of mostly rollers in the Pasayten.

Glacier is a good one. In terms of sheer quantity of visible peaks, other ones that came to mind were Dome, Bonanza, Reynolds, Abernathy, Gardners...

interesting, but i'd say Goode.
it's centrally located in the big pk area. one can see many of the western crest big ones from the summit but its little further east to see many of the big pasayten pks without obstruction. then can also look to the E and SE to the sawtooth and entiat area pks

"Good" choice, Eric. ( sorry )
I agree, Goode is high and centrally located, as well as having a tiny summit that doesn't restrict view at all!
And although I haven't climbed it, Bonanza is another candidate. It is seen from many high summits quite far away. However its massive form might block peaks to the west.

I've never seen anything like I've seen from the summit of Glacier Peak. You can see EVERYTHING from up there! I like Eric's idea though. Goode is the highest in it's neighborhood and much closer to a lot of the Pasayten Peaks. Bonanza maybe? I dunno, I'd still go with Glacier, especially if you have keen eyes or a camera with a telephoto lens or a telescope (that's standard mountaineering equipment, no?). I'd be curious how many Bulgers you could ID from up there.

The magical days where the entire range is clear of clouds, haze and forest fire smoke are pretty rare and usually this time of year.

Only been on a fraction of them, but Abernathy and Austera stood out to me

I climbed Glacier too early in my climbing career, didn't know or appreciate much of the view unfolding before me.
A few peaks I've visited that jump out as having good views of a lot of other peaks--Mt. Maude, North Gardner, Black Peak.
