About this map

The Sawatch Range dominates this portion of the San Isabel National Forest, defined by the towering summits of the Collegiate Peaks. High-altitude landmarks like Mt Antero and Mt Princeton overlook a landscape carved by the waters of Chalk Cr and the striking white facade of the Chalk Cliffs. The area's geothermal activity is concentrated near the base of the mountains at Mount Princeton Hot Springs and Hortense Hot Spring, long-standing destinations in the valley.

Transportation patterns reflect both the area's mining history and its modern recreational use. The Narrow Gauge Trl follows an old rail grade through the canyon near Chalk Lake, while the Colorado Trl and Mt Princeton Trl provide access to the wilderness. From the high ridges of Mt White down to Agnes Vaille Falls, the map traces a network of drainage systems including Little Browns Cr and Eddy Cr that descend toward the Arkansas River valley.
