2022 Map of Mount Hope

About this map

Rio Grande National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Mineral, Colorado, where the S Fork Rio Grande and Pass Cr carve through complex topography. The map detail reflects a wilderness shaped by water management and recreation, anchored by the Big Meadows Reservoir and the high-elevation Hunter Reservoir. The southern edge of the sheet is defined by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl, which traverses the ridge lines near Spruce Lake Number 2 and Spruce Lake Number 1. Significant vertical relief is marked by landmarks like Table Mtn, Metroz Mtn, and the namesake Mt Hope. This 2022 survey provides an intricate view of the trail networks used to navigate the terrain, including the Archuleta Trl and the Tie Hill Trl, connecting isolated points like Decker Meadows and the distinctive Stair Steps formation.
