2020 Map of Red Knob

About this map

The Wasatch National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of several major river systems begin their descent. A network of alpine drainages including the E Fork Bear River and W Fork Blacks Fork carve through the glacial terrain, flanked by massive peaks such as Tokewanna Peak and Mt Beulah. Along the southern boundary, the Uinta Highline trail traverses the ridgeline near Red Knob Pass, providing a key corridor through the High Uintas Wilderness. High-elevation basins like Cataract Basin and named meadows like Buck Pasture reflect the remote character of this mountain environment. This record of the modern backcountry shows how the land is managed between the Wasatch and Ashley National Forest, while documenting numerous glacial lakes like Norice Lake and Priord Lake that feed the river forks below.
