Tatoosh Wilderness, Protected wilderness area near Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, United States
The Tatoosh Wilderness spans 15,725 acres of alpine terrain with dense forests of hemlock, fir, and red cedar trees reaching elevations up to 6,310 feet.
Congress designated this section of Gifford Pinchot National Forest as a wilderness area in 1984 to preserve its natural features and ecological systems.
The name Tatoosh originates from Chinook Jargon, referring to the rock formations on Butter Peak's south face that resemble a breast shape.
The 8.6-mile Tatoosh Trail provides access through subalpine meadows, leading to multiple lakes where camping and fires are prohibited for environmental protection.
During winter, Tatoosh Ridge accumulates 25 feet of snow, while black bears forage in forests and mountain goats inhabit upper elevations throughout the seasons.
