2014 Map of Norse Peak

About this map

The Crystal Mountain Ski Resort and the surrounding high-elevation terrain of the Snoqualmie National Forest dominate this 2014 survey of the Cascade Range. Following the boundary between Pierce and Yakima counties, the map highlights a landscape defined by glacial basins and prominent summits like Norse Peak and Castle Mtn. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the central high country, crossing several alpine notches including Scout Pass and Pickhandle Gap. Below the peaks, the drainage patterns of the Greenwater River and the American River illustrate the hydrology of this wilderness area, while the Crystal Mountain Area serves as a primary hub for recreation. The inclusion of Lodgepole Campground along State Hwy 410 marks a key access point for those exploring the Rainier Fork American River and the eastern slopes of the range.
