We are planning a 5 day hike in the Glacier Peak Wilderness this summer and are looking for a good topo map of the area (that would include Spider Gap, Lyman Lakes, Suiattle Pass and Buck Creek Pass). A book that gives miles, elevation gain, and detailed tail descriptions would also be great. Any recommendations? Thank you!

My favourite Map - purchased at the Wenatchee Ranger Station Scroll Down I GeoGraphics maps because they put the volcano front & center, include the whole wilderness area & don't go out of their way to wreck the map with 'political borders'. Guidebooks are a bit of a touchy subject around here. Two I liked were this one and my old fave (a bit out of date)

The perfect book is here it includes topo maps best campsites and cross country routees, that is the good news the bad news is it has been out of print for forty years and is out of date and a rare book.

I have multiple copies of the R&R Glacier Pk if interested. Not giving them away but cheaper than the above link.
