2014 Map of Old Snowy Mountain

About this map

Old Snowy Mtn and the jagged Goat Rocks formation anchor this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Snoqualmie National Forest. The map documents a significant section of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses the crest between Lewis and Yakima counties, passing through notable crossings like Tieton Pass and Elk Pass. Glacial features such as Packwood Glacier and McCall Glacier remain prominent on the north-facing slopes of the highest peaks, feeding the headwaters of the Clear Fork Cowlitz River and the North Fork Tieton River. Hikers and mountain explorers can identify remote waypoints like the Dana Yelverton Shelter and alpine water bodies including Goat Lake, Shoe Lake, and Miriam Lake, illustrating the recreational and ecological importance of this Cascade Range segment in the early 21st century.
