2024 Map of Smith Peak

About this map

Kaniksu National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Boundary County, where the Selkirk Mountains dominate the terrain. The 2024 survey detail reveals a complex network of alpine trails and peaks, centered around Smith Peak and the dramatic geological formations of The Lions Head. The map serves as a contemporary guide to this protected wilderness, showing the established path of the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail as it traverses Lions Head Ridge and passes through Long Canyon Pass. Numerous small water bodies, including Smith Lake, Cutoff Lake, and Myrtle Lake, are tucked between prominent heights like West Fork Mountain and Abandon Mountain. This edition captures the modern conservation and recreation infrastructure of northern Idaho, from the Canyon Creek National Recreation Trail to the remote drainages of Smith Creek and Lion Creek.
