SaveNorse Peak Wilderness begins just northeast of Mount Rainier National Park and reaches down both sides of the Cascade Mountain Range crest. Narrow drainages open below rockbound ridges that slice into an area dotted with basins and lakes.
Douglas fir, western hemlock and cedar with an understory of ferns cover the western side. The eastern side of the crest gives way to mountain hemlock, subalpine fir and alpine meadows before dropping down to a forest of larch, spruce and pine. Old mine shafts, tailings and derelict cabins on the southwest corner of the wilderness are remnants left from the gold mining days.
Rock climbers are challenged by the bold face of Fifes Peaks. Hike the Norse Peak Trail 5.2 miles to the summit at 6,856 feet for panoramic views. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses this wilderness for about 13 miles. Congress designated the Norse Peak Wilderness in 1984 and it now totals 52,315 acres.
