About this map

Yellowstone National Park and Targhee National Forest converge at the Idaho-Wyoming border, where a complex network of backcountry trails and water features defines the landscape. The hydrography of the region is particularly dense, featuring the thermal activity of Boundary Creek Hot Springs alongside numerous cascades such as Dunanda Falls, Silver Scarf Falls, and the namesake Bechler Falls on the Bechler River.

South of the wide Bechler Meadows, the terrain is marked by isolated volcanic features like Rising Butte and Snow Creek Butte. The presence of Cave Falls Cg and Iytc Camp indicates the area's long-standing use for remote recreation and wilderness management. Several specialized paths, including the Bechler Meadows Trail and the Bechler River Cutoff Trail, provide passage through this intersection of high-altitude wetlands and forest.
