2013 Map of Dakan Mountain

About this map

Pike National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which straddles the borders of Douglas, Teller, and El Paso counties. The map traces a complex network of forest trails and gulches, including Indian Cave Trail 705 and the various branches of the Fern Trail system. High points like Dakan Mountain and Storm Peak define the topography of the Rampart Range, while the eastern edge reveals the edge of residential development at Perry Park. The intricate drainage patterns of Illinois Gulch and Missouri Gulch illustrate the deep erosion of the Front Range foothills. To the west, State Hwy 67 cuts through the terrain near Rainbow Falls Park, providing access to the more remote interior valleys like Long Hollow and the Trout Creek basin.
