2023 Map of Jack Ridge

About this map

Icicle Creek carves through the heart of the Wenatchee National Forest in this high-elevation mountain study. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, anchored by prominent peaks like Bootjack Mtn, Highchair Mtn, and Eightmile Mtn. The transition from the Alpine Lakes Wilderness into the surrounding forest reveals a sophisticated network of wilderness trails, including the Jack Ridge Trl and Blackjack Ridge Trl, which navigate the steep divides between drainage basins. This area is a critical hydrological hub, where numerous alpine sources like Cradle Lake and Trout Lake feed into tributary systems such as Jack Creek and Trout Creek. The presence of Windy Pass and Sixtysix Hundred Ridge highlights the formidable natural barriers that have shaped movement through the Wenatchee Mountains.
