About this map

The high alpine terrain of the North Cascades defines this area of Whatcom County, anchored by the massive bulk of Shull Mtn and the surrounding peaks of the Pasayten Wilderness. This landscape is primarily accessible via a network of long-distance routes, most notably the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl which traverses the central mountains through high-elevation crossings like Devils Pass and Sky Pilot Pass.

Lower elevations are marked by the headwaters of numerous drainages, including North Fork Canyon Creek and Cinnamon Creek, which carve deep basins below landmarks like Jackita Ridge and Hells Basin. The boundary of the Mount Baker National Forest runs through the southern section, where the Chancellor Trl follows the course of Slate Creek. This 2023 survey documents a remote wilderness environment where names like Devils Park and Shull Lake reflect the challenging geography of the Cascades.
