2023 Map of Norse Peak

About this map

Norse Peak Wilderness and the northeast corner of Mount Rainier National Park meet at the crest of the Cascades in this modern 2023 survey. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its extensive trail networks and alpine basins, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl traverses a series of significant passes including Scout Pass, Bear Gap, and Sourdough Gap. The map details a complex hydrologic system where the Rainier Fork American River and American River gather from numerous glacial lakes such as Elizabeth Lake and Placer Lake.
