About this map

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through this high-altitude landscape where the Okanogan Co and Whatcom Co line meets the international border region. Established within the Okanogan National Forest and the Pasayten Wilderness, the area is defined by the headwaters of the West Fork Pasayten River and the Middle Fork Pasayten River. Several high-mountain thoroughfares, including Holman Pass and Windy Pass, provided essential routes for early forest travelers and prospectors.

Evidence of human activity in this wilderness is marked by Mines located near Barron Park and the isolated Pasayten Airstrip. High-elevation landmarks like Pasayten Peak and Buckskin Point overlook a network of seasonal camps such as Holman Campground and Lid Kay Camp. The topography reveals a history of land management and recreational use shortly after the formal designation of the wilderness area.
