2011 Map of Scout Mountain

About this map

Scout Mountain and Indian Mountain dominate this section of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in Bannock County, Idaho. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent from high peaks into deep drainages like Mormon Canyon, where numerous waterways such as Bell Marsh Creek, Goodenough Creek, and Rowe Creek originate and flow toward the lowlands. This area is a significant recreational and youth destination, evidenced by the established Scout Mountain Campground and Camp Tendoy situated along the East Fork Mink Creek. A network of forest routes, including the Scout Mountain Top Rd and Bell Marsh Rd, provides access to the high ridgelines and creek valleys, reflecting the 21st-century management of these public lands for both conservation and seasonal activity.
