2020 Map of Bogachiel Peak

About this map

Seven Lakes Basin serves as the focal point of this high-elevation wilderness within Olympic National Park. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several major river systems, including the Sol Duc River, the Bogachiel River, and the Hoh River. A dense network of paths, such as the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail and the Hoh Lake Trail, connects numerous alpine water bodies like Lunch Lake, Clear Lake, and Morgenroth Lake. The map illustrates the convergence of Clallam and Jefferson counties along a line that traverses the southern peaks. Notable landmarks like Bogachiel Peak and Boulder Peak mark the High Divide, separating the drainages. This survey documents the preserved trail system and hydrological patterns that have sustained the ecosystem, from the cascading Sol Duc Falls to the remote waters of Lake Number 8.
