2013 Map of Rabbit Ears Peak

About this map

Rabbit Ears Peak and the surrounding Rabbit Ears Range anchor this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Jackson and Grand counties. The terrain is defined by the Continental Divide, where the headwaters of numerous drainages such as Grizzly Cr, Colorado Cr, and Wilset Cr begin their descent. Human presence in this area is marked by water management and transit, including the Ross Ditch Extension and the historic McGowan Homestead near McGowan Reservoir. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the Routt National Forest, providing a modern corridor through a landscape that includes distinctive geological features like the White Slide and Harrison Hump. Near Muddy Pass, the intersection of US Hwy 40 and the entrance to the Arapaho National Forest marks a primary gateway through these mountains.
