2023 Map of Mount Rainier East

About this map

Paradise serves as the primary hub for human activity on the southeastern flanks of the mountain, surrounded by the high-alpine meadows of Paradise Park. This 2023 survey documents the intricate glacial systems that define the watershed, from the massive Emmons Glacier and Fryingpan Glacier in the north to the Cowlitz Glacier and Nisqually Glacier feeding the rivers below. The map traces the critical transition from ice to alpine stream, showing the headwaters of the Nisqually River and the Ohanapecosh River. High-altitude landmarks like Camp Muir, situated on the Muir Snowfield, and McClure Rock represent significant points of interest for mountaineers and climbers. The terrain is marked by dramatic elevation changes, evidenced by numerous cataracts such as Sluiskin Falls and Fairy Falls. This modern record illustrates the current extent of ice fields relative to established trails like the Skyline Trl and Wonderland Trl.
