About this map

Peaceful Pines serves as a focal point for this high-elevation landscape in Alpine County, where several organizational retreats and public campgrounds cluster along the Clark Fork river. This 2012 survey details a terrain defined by volcanic landmarks and alpine meadows, featuring the prominent Dardanelles Cone and The Dardanelles. The area is a hub for seasonal recreation, evidenced by numerous sites like Liahona Camp, Del Rio Camp GSA, and Sequoia Camp GSA.

Northward, the map tracks the ascent into the wilderness via Highland Lakes Rd, reaching the Highland Lakes and the Highland Lakes Campground near Folger Peak. The drainage patterns of Arnot Cr and Disaster Cr reveal a complex network of canyons and gulches, such as Champion Canyon and Woods Gulch, which have long served as corridors through the high country. Historical grazing or early exploration is suggested by numerous named meadows, including Bear Tree Meadow and the Upper Gardner and Lower Gardner Meadows.
