2011 Map of Snoqualmie Pass

About this map

Snoqualmie Pass serves as the central hub of this mountain corridor, where the legacy of early transit meets modern recreation. The engineering of the Snoqualmie Tunnel and the placement of high-altitude settlements like Rockdale and Hyak reflect the historical importance of this crossing for rail and road travel. The landscape is dotted with several alpine basins, including the waters of Snow Lake, Gem Lake, and the expansive Keechelus Lake at the pass's southern foot. Significant vertical relief is defined by peaks such as Snoqualmie Mountain and Granite Mountain, the latter still featuring the Granite Mountain Lookout. The area's evolution into a premier outdoor destination is evident through the concentration of facilities like the Alpental Ski Area, Ski Acres Ski Area, and the Pacific West Ski Area, alongside major trail access points such as the Pacific Crest Trailhead.
