Built around a rail connection serving the timber trade, Morton grew into a small community in eastern Lewis County. The town sits in the Cascade foothills near the Tilton River, on U.S. Route 12, the White Pass Scenic Byway, which crosses the mountains at White Pass. Forestry remains central to Morton’s identity, celebrated each summer at the Morton Loggers’ Jubilee through competitions and local events. Its compact centre is a useful stop for journeys between the Cowlitz River valley and the Cascades. See how Morton fits within the wider Cascade foothills by exploring nearby places.
