2021 Map of Hoback Peak

About this map

Hoback Peak serves as the prominent high point in this corner of the Wyoming high country, where the boundaries of Bridger National Forest and Teton National Forest meet. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the Hoback River and the deeply incised Upper Hoback Canyon. A complex network of pack trails and forest paths, such as the Wy Range Nat Rec Trl and Highline Trl, crisscrosses the terrain, linking remote points like Bare Hole and Cliff Creek Pass. These routes historically provided access for early forestry management and grazing in high-altitude basins like Horse Heaven Meadows and Roosevelt Meadows. The map illustrates the headwaters of numerous streams, including Grizzly Cr and Hole-in-the-Wall Cr, flowing through the mountainous divide between Lincoln and Sublette counties.
