About this map

Suiattle Pass serves as a critical high-altitude junction in this high alpine region of the Cascade Range, where the borders of Snohomish and Chelan counties meet. The landscape is defined by its massive ice features and drainage systems, including Grant Glacier, Lyman Glacier, and Spider Glacier. These glaciers feed a complex network of waterways such as Railroad Creek and the Chiwawa River.

Evidence of early exploration and mountain transit is found in the extensive trail system that crisscrosses the peaks. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the western half of the map, intersecting with localized routes like the Miners Ridge Trail and Miners Cabin Trail. Named landmarks like Sitting Bull Mtn, Fortress Mtn, and Liberty Cap provide fixed points for navigating the high-relief terrain within the Glacier Peak Wilderness.
