About this map

Shoshone National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of this Park County landscape, dominated by the peaks of the Absaroka Range. The Greybull River serves as the primary drainage for the northern section, flanked by Greybull River Rd and the Greybull River Highwater Trl. This area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Willow Cr, Four Bear Cr, and Haymaker Cr, which carve through the slopes of Phelps Mtn.

Access through this wilderness relies on a system of traditional routes like the Jack Creek Trl and the Upper Jack Creek Trl. These trails follow the natural contours of the drainage basins, illustrating the historical movement patterns through the eastern Absarokas. The transition from valley floors to high summits is evident in the convergence of the Francs Fork / Haymaker Trl near the headwaters of Francs Fork.
