2021 Map of Five Pockets

About this map

Shoshone National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the Absaroka Range provides a dramatic series of basins and peaks along the Park and Fremont county line. The map highlights a complex network of topographical depressions including West Pocket, South Pocket, and the eponymous Five Pockets south of Cathedral Peak. Navigation through this wilderness relies on established paths such as the Horse Creek Trl and the Clark Creek / Hidden Basin Tra Trl, which connect the remote Hidden Basin to lower elevations. Water features like Eloise Lake and Deacon Lake are tucked into the high basins, while Twilight Falls marks a sharp change in elevation for the drainage systems near the eastern boundary. Notable high points like The Ramshorn and Raggedtop Mtn define the horizon in this protected wilderness area.
