2023 Map of Hayden Peak

About this map

Hayden Peak and Mt Agassiz anchor this high-elevation wilderness landscape where the boundaries of the Wasatch National Forest and Ashley National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of alpine lakes and basins, including Naturalist Basin, Amethyst Basin, and the Middle Basin. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern trail network that facilitates movement through the High Uintas Wilderness, featuring long-distance routes like the Uinta Highline Trl and the Hades-Rocky Sea Pass Trl. Notable landmarks such as Hayden Pass and Rocky Sea Pass mark the high points of these routes. The map also traces the headwaters of the Duchesne and Uinta rivers, which flow through Uinta Valley and Marsell Canyon, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns and glaciated cirques of the Uinta Mountains.
