2022 Map of Farwell Mountain

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl skirts the eastern boundary. The map captures a rugged drainage system defined by the Elk River and its various tributaries, including the Middle Fork Elk River and S Fork Elk River. Distinctive peaks like Farwell Mtn and Dome Peak provide significant relief, while topographical features like Hinman Canyon and Box Canyon indicate a deeply carved watershed. Several "parks" or natural alpine clearings, such as Diamond Park, Hinman Park, and Boulder Park, suggest historic areas of interest for grazing or early transit. An extensive network of primitive paths, including the Wyoming Trl and Pearl Lake Trl, highlights the area's continued use for backcountry navigation through these protected Colorado highlands.
