2023 Map of Eagle Roost

About this map

Green Mountain Reservoir and the Blue River valley anchor this high-elevation landscape on the border of Grand and Summit counties. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of the Williams Fork Mountains and the Gore Range, where landmarks like Williams Peak and the namesake Eagle Roost summit overlook complex drainage systems. Human presence is concentrated along the western edge near Heeney Road and the Grandview Cemetery, while the interior remains primarily within the protected bounds of the Arapaho National Forest, White River National Forest, and the Eagles Nest Wilderness. This 2023 survey documents a network of high-altitude paths including the Gore Range Trl and Ute Pass, illustrating how historical transit corridors follow the natural breaks between these major mountain blocks.
