About this map

The Pacific NW National Scenic Trail winds through this high-elevation wilderness within Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several major river systems, including the Sol Duc River, the Bogachiel River, and the S Fork Calawah River. In this era, the region remains a primitive backcountry environment where the primary markers of human presence are remote shelters like Hyak Shelter and Twentymone Mile Shelter.

Glacial topography is evident in the numerous named summits and high basins, such as Misery Peak, Slide Peak, and the distinctive Sore Thumb. The map details the transition between Clallam and Jefferson counties across the Olympic Mountains. High-altitude water bodies, including Blackwood Lake and Ring Lake, sit tucked beneath ridges like Low Divide, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that feed the N Fork Bogachiel River and Hyak Cr.
