2024 Map of Cedar Ridge

About this map

Elk Summit stands as the primary point of human orientation in this high-elevation landscape within the Clearwater National Forest and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines and peaks of the Bitterroot Mountains, including the appropriately named Goat Heaven Peaks and Hoodoo Mtn. This area is a critical watershed, where numerous drainages like East Fork Moose Creek, Dolph Creek, and Hoodoo Creek carve through the deep valleys between Cedar Ridge and Friday Ridge. Access to this high-country environment is facilitated by the Elk Summit Rd and Hoodoo Lake Rd, which reach past Kidney Lake and Hoodoo Lake. The map illustrates a preserved wilderness where the only developments are limited forest roads and seasonal points like Diablo Spring.
