2023 Map of Mowich Lake

About this map

Mowich Lake and the high glaciated reaches of Mount Rainier National Park define this landscape within the Mount Rainier Wilderness. The map reveals a complex network of glacial activity and alpine drainages, including the massive Carbon Glacier and the high-elevation Flett Glacier. This modern survey tracks the established backcountry routes such as the Wonderland Trl and the Northern Loop Trl, which connect notable landmarks like Ipsut Pass and Windy Gap. The presence of dramatic terrain features like Mother Mtn, the Sluiskin Mountains, and the Northern Crags illustrates the severe verticality of the northwest corner of the park. From the valley floors of the North Mowich River to the subalpine meadows of Spray Park and Mist Park, the map serves as a contemporary guide to the region's wilderness character and glacial hydrology.
