2022 Map of Electric Peak

About this map

Electric Peak towers over the high-altitude divide between the San Isabel National Forest and the Rio Grande National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp topographical boundary between the Saguache Co Custer Co line, where glacial cirques and alpine basins hold high-mountain waters such as Silver Lake, Cotton Lake, and the Lake of the Clouds. A sophisticated network of primitive routes, including the Rainbow Trl and Horsethief Basin Trl, connects these remote summits to the drainages of Stover Gulch and Mill Gulch. This modern survey details the hydrological patterns of the Sangre de Cristo Range, showing where seasonal snowmelt feeds the headwaters of Texas Cr and N Brush Cr before they descend into the valleys below.
