2017 Map of Mount Rainier West

About this map

Mount Rainier and its complex network of glaciers and cleavers dominate this high-altitude survey of Mount Rainier National Park. The summit area is meticulously detailed, showing the West Crater and East Crater flanking the highest point at Columbia Crest. Radiating from this volcanic peak are massive ice and rock formations such as the Wilson Headwall, Puyallup Cleaver, and the sheer Willis Wall. At lower elevations, the map transitions into lush glacial valleys and meadows. Longmire Meadow serves as a key landmark in the south, while several named parks like Saint Andrews Park and Van Trump Park offer a contrast to the icy heights. The drainage system is clearly defined by the Nisqually River and the S Mowich River, alongside numerous cataracts including Comet Falls and Christine Falls. Roadways like Paradise Rd and Stevens Canyon Rd provide a grounded perspective on the region's accessibility and development for park visitors.
