About this map

The Entiat River carves a deep path through the high peaks of the Wenatchee National Forest, defining the topographical character of this backcountry region in Chelan County. This survey of the Entiat Mountains and Chelan Mountains reveals a landscape dominated by dramatic vertical relief, where massive formations like Saska Peak, Emerald Peak, and the uniquely named Devils Smoke Stack overlook high alpine basins.

The presence of back-country infrastructure like the Ice Creek Shelter and Ice Creek Camp reflects the area's history as a destination for wilderness travel. Strategic alpine passages such as Milham Pass, Borealis Pass, and Saska Pass connect the drainage systems of Snow Brushy Cr, Duncan Cr, and Pinnacle Cr. Several high-elevation water bodies, including Myrtle Lake, Choral Lake, and the Larch Lakes, are situated in glacial cirques, providing focal points for the trail and camping networks found at Larch Lake Campground and Cottonwood Campground.
