2022 Map of Bowen Mountain

About this map

The Never Summer Mountains dominate the western horizon of this high-elevation terrain, where the boundary between Jackson Co and Grand Co follows the jagged crest of the Continental Divide. This 2022 survey captures a landscape of extreme relief, defined by the industrial-scale engineering of the Grand Ditch, which redirects alpine runoff through the northern reaches of Rocky Mountain National Park. Significant peaks including Bowen Mtn, Cascade Mtn, and Porphyry Peaks tower over a complex network of seasonal drainages and high-country meadows like Pony Park. Below the timberline, the map reveals a dense system of specialized access routes, from the Stillwater Pass road to rugged paths such as the Sherman Creek Single Track Trl, illustrating the overlap of historic resource management and modern wilderness recreation within the Arapaho National Forest.
