2020 Map of Mowich Lake

About this map

Mount Rainier National Park dominates this topography, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Carbon River and the N Mowich River. The northwestern section of the park is mapped here in detail, centered on the glacial waters of Mowich Lake. The trail system is a primary human feature, specifically the celebrated Wonderland trail and the Northern Loop, which connect the park’s many waterfalls and meadows. From Ranger Falls to Spray Falls, the map traces the drainage patterns from the glaciers down through heavily ridged terrain. Distinctive landmarks like Hessong Rock, Eagle Cliff, and Arthur Peak provide orientation for those navigating the high country. In the northern reaches, the boundary of the Snoqualmie National Forest borders peaks like Tirzah Peak and the remote Chenuis Lakes.
