Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest

Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest extends 140 miles along the Cascade Range with 1.7 million acres of forests, alpine meadows, and mountain landscapes.

The forest originated from the Washington Forest Reserve in 1897, later combining Mount Baker and Snoqualmie National Forests into one entity in 1974.

Nineteen federally recognized tribes maintain connections to this forest, utilizing areas their ancestors inhabited for traditional practices and resource gathering.

The forest contains over 1,500 miles of hiking trails, 50 campgrounds, seven ski areas, and requires a Northwest Forest Pass for certain locations.

This forest holds more glaciers and snow fields than any other national forest in the contiguous United States, supporting substantial winter bald eagle populations.
