2022 Map of Dunckley Pass

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Routt and Rio Blanco counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and hydrological features, notably the Dunckley Flat Tops and the volcanic prominence of Baldy Mtn. Water management in this arid environment is evident through the presence of the Egry Mesa Ditch and several high-country catchments like Gill Reservoir and J O K Reservoir Number One. Movement through the backcountry follows a complex network of trails and mountain crossings, including the historic Dunckley Pass and Yellowjacket Pass. These passes provide essential transit between the drainages of Bunker Cr and Trout Cr, marking a landscape where forest management and seasonal access dictate the human footprint.
