2021 Map of Hunter Peak

About this map

The Shoshone National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the Absaroka Range provides a backdrop for a complex network of backcountry trails and glacial drainages. In the northeast corner, the Clarks Fork Wild and Scenic River carves through the terrain near Old Cooke City Rd, a traditional transit corridor through these mountains. The area is defined by its extensive trail systems, such as the North Crandal Trl and Papoose Ridge Trl, which follow the contours of the land rather than modern road patterns. Numerous named water bodies like Crandall Cr, Hoodoo Cr, and Wolverine Cr drain the steep slopes surrounding Hunter Peak, illustrating the primary role of high-country watersheds in shaping the regional geography.
