2021 Map of Medicine Bow Peak

About this map

The Snowy Range crests in this portion of the Medicine Bow Mountains, defined by high-altitude glacial lakes and a network of historic trails that served both recreation and early resource extraction. The presence of the Miners Cabin Trl and Tipple Trl near Snowy Range Pass points to the area's mining history, while the concentration of water bodies like Lake Marie, Mirror Lake, and Libby Lake underscores the alpine hydrology of the Medicine Bow National Forest. Moving south from the jagged peaks of Sugarloaf Mtn, the terrain transitions into the expansive Libby Flats, showing the contrast between the rocky summits and the high plateau. Researchers can trace the path of the Medicine Bow Peak Trl as it navigates the ridge between Carbon and Albany counties.
