2017 Map of Sunset Mountain

About this map

Pilot Peak Lookout and Sunset Mtn Lookout stand as prominent high points in this section of the Boise National Forest. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and ridges, notably the Grimes-Elk Divide and Hungarian Ridge. Mining history is evidenced by the American Girl and Eight Mile labels in the southwest, while the winding Idaho City-Stanley-SH21 provides the primary passage through the high country, crossing at Mores Creek Summit. Waterways such as Grimes Cr, Mores Cr, and the colorfully named Whoop-Um-Up Creek carve through the terrain, supporting recreational sites like Hay Fork Cg. This 2017 survey details a network of forest spurs and trails that illustrate the modern management of this backcountry region between Wilson Peak and Sunset Mtn.
