About this map

Walupt Lake lies at the center of this high-elevation landscape, where the borders of Snoqualmie National Forest and Gifford Pinchot National Forest meet along the Lewis and Yakima county line. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines and glacial features, including Conrad Glacier and Meade Glacier tucked beneath the heights of Gilbert Peak and the Goat Rocks. This alpine environment is a critical corridor for mountain travel, evidenced by the winding path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it crosses Cispus Pass.

The presence of numerous small alpine basins such as Lilly Basin and Snowgrass Flat indicates a landscape shaped by persistent snow and ice. Water from the peaks feeds the Cispus River and the Klickitat River, while smaller bodies of water like Gertrude Lake and Lakeview Mountain reflect the complex hydrology of the high Cascades. The Walupt-Horse trail provides local access through the forested slopes of Nannie Ridge, connecting the central lake to the broader wilderness network.
