2021 Map of Pahaska Tepee

About this map

Pahaska Tepee serves as the focal point for this high-elevation landscape where the N Fork Shoshone River carves through the eastern gateway of the mountains. Situated along the boundary shared by Shoshone National Forest and Yellowstone National Park, the terrain is defined by the sharp ridges of the Absaroka Range. The map documents a complex network of backcountry routes, including the Pahaska Sunlight Trl and Grinnell Cr Trl, which provide access to remote landmarks like Sam Berry Meadow and Crow Peak. The drainage patterns are intricate, with numerous tributaries such as Bear Cr, Jones Cr, and Morman Cr feeding into the main river valley. This survey illustrates the protected wilderness character of the region, emphasizing topographic landmarks like Whirlwind Peak and specialized forest access points such as the Grinnell Trlhead Trl.
