About this map

Mount Rainier National Park and Snoqualmie National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape, where the White River carves a deep valley between high alpine ridges. The infrastructure of the park system is well-established, centered on the winding Mather Memorial Pkwy and Sunrise Park Rd which provide access to Sunrise Point. This area serves as a primary gateway to the northeastern slopes of the mountain, featuring a network of glacial streams including Fryingpan Cr and Sunrise Cr.

High-country geography is defined by prominent peaks and ridges such as The Palisades and Governors Ridge. Numerous alpine basins hold small water bodies like Lower Crystal Lake, Hidden Lake, and Clover Lake. Significant recreational infrastructure is recorded here, including the route of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses the eastern boundary near Crystal Mtn and Sheep Lake, alongside various forest development roads.
