About this map

White Pass serves as the central crossing point where the White Pass Highway traverses the boundary between Lewis and Yakima counties. This high-elevation terrain is defined by its extensive network of water bodies and recreational trails, including the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl, which winds through the Snoqualmie National Forest and William O Douglas Wilderness.

The landscape is dotted with numerous alpine lakes such as Leech Lake, Twin Sisters Lakes, and Jug Lake, which feed into major water systems like the Bumping River and the Clear Fork Cowlitz River. The presence of established routes like the Cowlitz Horse Trl and the Cowlitz Trl connecting through Cowlitz Pass illustrates the long-standing importance of this area for mountain transit. Terrain features such as Carlton Ridge and Cramer Mtn provide significant vertical relief in this heavily protected wilderness area.
