2014 Map of White River Park

About this map

Mount Rainier National Park dominates the western half of this area, where high-elevation landmarks like The Palisades and Governors Ridge define the alpine landscape. The eastern portion transitions into the Snoqualmie National Forest, separated by the corridor of State Hwy 410 as it follows the White River. This 2014 survey documents the modern recreational infrastructure of the region, from the developed sites at Yakima Park and Sunrise Point to the primitive backcountry routes. Hikers can trace the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it winds along the Pierce and Yakima County boundary. The map captures a complex network of glacial meltwater drainage, including Huckleberry Cr and Fryingpan Cr, while showcasing the concentration of alpine waters at Deadwood Lakes and Lower Crystal Lake.
