About this map

The high alpine environment of the Mount Baker National Forest is defined here by a network of significant glaciers and dramatic peaks along the Snohomish and Skagit county lines. Elevations rise toward the southern portion of the map, culminating at Kennedy Peak and its surrounding ice fields, including the Kennedy Glacier, Scimitar Glacier, and Ptarmigan Glacier. These glacial systems feed several watercourses such as Kennedy Cr and the White Chuck River.

Human access to this wilderness centers on the Suiattle River corridor in the north, where the Sulphur Creek Campground and Suiattle Trailhead provide entry points. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the eastern half of the map, crossing Fire Creek Pass and skirting Mica Lake. Dozens of smaller alpine lakes, such as Box Mountain Lakes, Indigo Lake, and the Twin Lakes, are scattered across the high basins of Lime Ridge and Box Mtn.
