2024 Map of Cold Meadows

About this map

Cold Meadows serves as a remote hub within the high-elevation backcountry of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness and Payette National Forest. This landscape is defined by its isolation and the network of primitive routes like the Cold Meadows Trl and Starvation Trl that navigate steep drainages and high points such as Roots Knob and Dismal Mtn. The topography is marked by curiously named watercourses, including Starvation Creek, Dismal Creek, and Disappointment Creek, reflecting the challenges of this wilderness terrain.
