About this map

Mount Rainier National Park and Snoqualmie National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape of the Washington Cascades. The survey captures a complex network of alpine trails and glacial river drainages during a period of heavy recreational usage. The White River carves a deep valley floor, flanked by the massive elevations of Marcus Peak and the Sourdough Mountains.

Long-distance trekking routes define the human geography of this wilderness, most notably the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the Wonderland Trail, which circumnavigates the mountain. High-elevation points of interest like Sunrise Point and Yakima Park provide access to the backcountry, while the Crystal Mtn Hwy and Chinook Pass Highway trace the rugged transitions between Pierce and Yakima counties. Numerous alpine water bodies, including Lower Crystal Lake and the Deadwood Lakes, dot the high basins beneath peaks like Brown Peak.
