2013 Map of Red Cliff

About this map

Red Cliff sits along the Eagle River in this high-altitude survey of the central Colorado Rockies. The settlement serves as a gateway to the White River National Forest, where the landscape is defined by steep ridges and legendary alpine basins. To the north, the massive infrastructure of the Vail Ski Area is evident through complex trail networks and bowls such as China Bowl, Sundown Bowl, and Teacup Bowl. Local history is anchored by the Greenwood Cem and the Po in town, while the surrounding peaks like Battle Mountain and Iron Mountain suggest the area's mining and ranching heritage. A dense network of forest trails, including the Two Elk Trail 2005.1 and Shrine Mountain Trail 2016.1, underscores the transition from early resource extraction at Hornsilver and Clister Gulch to a modern economy centered on recreation and conservation.
