Prior to designation, aggressive mining and logging operations punched numerous access roads into the area, creating a wildly irregular boundary to this popular area. Congress designated the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in 1976 with a total of 362,789 acres. From wet forests of Douglas fir, cedar, and an understory of salal and berries, to firs and mountain hemlock, the landscape opens up to expansive meadows matted with low growth and ends with dry forestland of ponderosa pine and grasses. Many peaks and slopes are permanently cloaked in snowfields. Tree-covered valleys give way to rocky ridges and rugged peaks along the crest of the Cascades. More than 700 lakes and mountain ponds dot the glacier-carved terrain of nearby Alpine Lake Wilderness. Elevations range from below 1,000 feet to over 9,000 feet. Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest offers stunning scenic views, with high, glaciated alpine peaks, valleys of old growth forest and rugged shrub-steppe country making up the diverse landscape.
