2023 Map of Elkhorn Peak

About this map

Elkhorn Peak and Elkhorn Mtn dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Oneida and Bannock counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and named canyons, including Danish Canyon, Bill-Morgan Canyon, and Monson Canyon, which descend into the broader Malad Valley to the south. Modern recreational use within the Caribou National Forest is evidenced by numerous established routes like the Wright Creek Nat Recreation Trl and the South Canyon Loop Trl. This contemporary survey highlights the complex hydrology of the region, where perennial sources such as Secret Spring, Maple Spring, and Old Canyon Spring provide vital water in the arid heights above the Little Malad River. Access to the lower elevations is maintained through local routes like John Evans Canyon Rd and Daniels Rd.
