About this map

The Naches River winds through the heart of the Snoqualmie National Forest, serving as a central corridor for recreation and early 1970s mountain life. The small community of Cliffdell anchors this portion of the valley, supported by neighboring Pinecliff to the southeast. The landscape is defined by its verticality and geological features, from the massive Edgar Rock and Natural Arch overlooking the river to the subterranean depths of Boulder Cave.

Transport and outdoor activity dominate the valley floor, with numerous campgrounds like Little Naches Campground, Halfway Flat Campground, and Cottonwood Campground clustered near the water. The map traces the confluence of the Little Naches River and Bumping River, while smaller landmarks such as Peterson Cem and Camp Roganunda offer clues to the area's local history and community development within the rugged Washington terrain.
