2003 Map of The Cradle

About this map

Fish Lake Guard Station and the upper reaches of the Cle Elum River anchor this high-altitude landscape where the boundaries of the Wenatchee National Forest and MT Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest converge. This 2003 revision documents a primitive backcountry network within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, centered on the massive formation of The Cradle. The geography is defined by glacial activity, evidenced by a high density of alpine basins such as Klonaqua Lakes, Robin Lakes, and Tuck Lake.
