About this map

Mount Princeton Hot Springs and the geothermal waters of Hortense Hot Spring define the northern corridor of this high-altitude landscape. Situated within the San Isabel National Forest, the region is dominated by the massive summits of the Collegiate Peaks, including the namesake Mount Antero and Mt Princeton. The geologic character of the area is most visible at the striking Chalk Cliffs and Agnes Vaille Falls, where the terrain drops sharply into Cascade Canyon.

Transport patterns reflect both modern recreation and older resource management, with the iconic Colorado Trail intersecting historical pathways like the Narrow Gauge Trail and Bowen Ditch. The network of alpine routes, such as the Wagon Loop Trail and Little Browns Creek Trail, provides access to the high basins surrounding Mt White and Tabeguache Peak. This 2016 survey documents the enduring spatial relationship between these protected peaks and the developed springs along Chalk Cr.
