2024 Map of Horton Peak

About this map

The Sawtooth National Forest and Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness converge in this high-altitude section of central Idaho, where the Boulder Mountains meet the Smoky Mountains. The landscape is defined by dramatic glacial features, including the Governors Punchbowl and alpine water bodies like Rainbow Lake and Deer Lakes. A complex drainage system feeds the headwaters of the Salmon River and Big Wood River, with numerous creeks such as Germania Creek and Gladiator Creek carving through deep valleys like Grand Prize Canyon. The map records an extensive network of primitive paths, including the Old Toll Road Trl and Champion Creek Trl, tracing the historic routes through Germania Basin and across the high ridges of the White Cloud Peaks.
