2024 Map of Bacon Peak

About this map

Bacon Peak rises as a central landmark in this high-elevation wilderness where the Shoshone Co and Clearwater Co border intersects the northern reaches of the Clearwater National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage networks, with Skull Creek and Copper Creek flowing south, while the northern slopes feed into the Saint Joe Wild and Scenic River corridor. This area showcases a classic alpine lake distribution, notably the cluster of Seed Lake, Heather Lake, Gold Lake, and Silver Lake gathered near Five Lakes Butte. A complex network of backcountry routes, including the Bacon Loop Trl and St Joe River Trl, reveals how these high basins and ridges like Indian Henry Ridge have been managed and accessed within the St Joe National Forest system.
