2024 Map of Wapinitia Pass

About this map

Wapinitia Pass and Blue Box Pass serve as critical high-elevation transit points across the Cascade crest along the border of Clackamas and Wasco counties. This landscape is defined by its complex network of recreational and historic corridors, including the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl and the Barlow Creek Trail, the latter of which follows the legacy of the historic immigrant route. The area is a hydrological divide where headwaters like the Salmon River and Elk Creek emerge from high meadows and marshes.
