2020 Map of Christmas Meadows

About this map

Christmas Meadows serves as a central hub for high-altitude recreation within the Wasatch National Forest at the headwaters of the Bear River. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic drainage basins of the Stillwater Fork and the Main Fork Bear River, which flow northward from the prominent Uinta peaks. High-elevation landmarks such as A-1 Peak, Kletting Peak, and Lamotte Peak ring the southern boundary, defining the rugged glacial cirques that hold Amethyst Lake and Kermsuh Lake. The map reveals a modern network of specialized trails, including the Whitney Snowmobile (Snow) route and various ATV paths like Wolverine Atv, illustrating how this wilderness area transitioned from historical timber or grazing uses to a destination for seasonal motorized and backcountry exploration.
