2017 Map of Hayden Peak

About this map

Hayden Peak and Mt Agassiz anchor this high-elevation landscape along the border of Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of glacial basins and alpine lakes, including the concentrated clusters within Naturalist Basin and Four Lakes Basin. Long-established backcountry routes like the Uinta Highline Trail and the Fish Creek Trail - Granddaddy provide the primary means of traversal through the drainage divide where the E Fork Duchesne River originates. The map captures the specialized recreational infrastructure of the High Uintas in the early 21st century, from the River Run ATV Trail in the west to remote water bodies like Governor Dern Lake and Amethyst Lake in the east. Brinton Meadow and Marsell Canyon sit at lower elevations, showing the transition from the high peaks toward the Uinta Valley.
