2023 Map of Leidy Peak

About this map

Leidy Peak and Ute Mtn anchor this high-altitude landscape within the Ashley National Forest, where the border between Daggett and Uintah counties follows the crest of the Uinta Mountains. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and basins, including Hacking Lake, Stove Lake, and the cluster of Tepee Lakes. Historic transportation routes are a primary feature here, most notably the Old Carter Military Trl and the Carter Military Trl, which provide a window into the region's 19th-century logistics and movement across the range. Modern recreation and legacy paths converge along the Uinta Highline Trl, connecting landmarks like Lakeshore Basin and Sheep Creek Park. This area serves as a vital headwater region, with the North Fork Ashley Creek and multiple forks of Carter Creek draining the steep, lake-dotted slopes of the high Uintas.
