2021 Map of Carson Pass

About this map

Carson Pass serves as a primary high-altitude crossing point through this corner of the Toiyabe National Forest and Eldorado National Forest. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation flats of Hope Valley, Faith Valley, and Charity Valley, which sit between prominent summits like Stevens Peak and Red Lake Peak. The hydrography of the region is centered on the headwaters of the W Fork Carson River and several alpine water bodies including Red Lake, Upper Blue Lake, and the high-altitude Crater Lake.
