About this map

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the high ridges of the Cascades along the boundary between Snohomish and Chelan counties, passing through the Glacier Peak Wilderness. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the headwaters of several significant drainage systems, including the Little Wenatchee River, Indian Creek, and Fish Creek. The topography is exceptionally steep, characterized by prominent summits such as Poe Mountain, Longfellow Mountain, and Whittier Peak.

A network of ridges, including Wenatchee Ridge and Cady Ridge, provide the primary navigation routes through the dense forest of the Wenatchee National Forest. This 2004 revision reflects a landscape dedicated almost entirely to wilderness preservation, where human presence is marked only by remote trails and historical survey points like Indian Pass and Meander Meadow. It provides a clear record of the high-country environment before modern climate shifts further altered its subalpine meadows and snowfields.
