2023 Map of Pargin Mountain

About this map

The San Juan National Forest covers much of this high-country landscape, where the boundary between La Plata and Archuleta counties bisects a network of deep canyons and drainages. The Yellow Jacket GS serves as a notable administrative point amidst a complex system of watercourses including Yellowjacket Creek, Ignacio Creek, and Goose Creek. High-elevation landmarks like Pargin Mtn overlook a series of named gulches and canyons, such as Armstrong Canyon and Fossett Gulch, which illustrate the difficult geography of the southern Colorado Rockies.
