About this map

Red Cliff and Minturn sit within the high-elevation terrain of the White River National Forest, where the Eagle River and Turkey Creek carve through the landscape. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern recreation infrastructure of the Central Rockies, specifically the extensive ski terrain and trails around Vail Mountain. Named features like China Bowl, Sunup Bowl, and Teacup Bowl are mapped alongside local summits such as Battle Mountain and Shrine Mountain.

Historical traces remain evident through sites like Greenwood Cemetery and the route of Shrine Pass. The map also captures the intricate network of backcountry and multi-use paths, including the Commando Run Trail and the Vail Pass Tenmile Trail. These labels reflect a century of evolution from early mining and settlement in the Eagle River valley to the contemporary resort and wilderness management era.
