2021 Map of Hardluck Mountain

About this map

The Shoshone National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape within the Absaroka Range, where the headwaters of the S Fork Shoshone River carve through the deep drainages of northwestern Wyoming. This 2021 survey documents a remote wilderness environment defined by prominent peaks such as Hardluck Mtn and Ash Mtn. The map follows the boundary between Park and Fremont counties, highlighting the corridor of the South Fork Trl as it tracks alongside the river. This area serves as a critical watershed, fed by numerous seasonal and perennial streams including Gentian Cr, Robinson Cr, and E Fork Cr. A network of high-country paths, such as the Cougar Pass Trl leading toward Cougar Pass, provides the primary means of navigating the steep vertical relief of the Shoshone interior.
