2015 Map of Alpine

About this map

Alpine and Alpine Junction sit at the strategic intersection of the Salt River and the Snake River's entrance to Palisades Reservoir, marking a vital nexus of water, transport, and mountain geography. This area is uniquely positioned where three major wilderness tracts converge, including the Targhee National Forest, Caribou National Forest, and Bridger National Forest. The landscape is defined by deep drainage systems like Little Box Canyon and Smith Canyon, while Bitters Peak overlooks the western mountain slopes. The presence of the Alpine Airport and the Grey's River Rd indicates the town's role as a modern gateway to the backcountry. To the east, the Grey's River Snowmobile Trail and the towering walls of the Grand Canyon highlight the region's transition from a valley floor to some of the state's most dramatic high-altitude terrain along the Idaho and Wyoming border.
