2023 Map of Lime Mountain

About this map

Suiattle River and the White Chuck River carve through this high-elevation landscape within the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The map documents a complex glacial environment, showing the Milk Lake Glacier, Scimitar Glacier, Kennedy Glacier, and Ptarmigan Glacier clinging to the high ridges of the Glacier Peak Wilderness. This area is characterized by significant topographic relief, where the steep ascent from the river valleys leads to prominent summits like Sulphur Mtn and Lime Mtn. A network of backcountry routes, including the Suiattle River Trl and the White Chuck / Upper White Chuck Trl, provides the primary means of navigating this roadless terrain. The presence of numerous high-alpine lakes such as Indigo Lake, Mica Lake, and Lime Lake indicates a landscape shaped by persistent ice and snowmelt, offering a detailed record of the region's hydrological features at the time of this 2023 survey.
