About this map

Trappers Lake serves as the centerpiece of this high-altitude wilderness, where the White River National Forest and Routt National Forest meet. The landscape is defined by the massive basaltic ramparts of The Flat Tops, including the striking Chinese Wall and the Amphitheatre formation. This 2013 survey details a transition from the riparian corridors of the North Fork White River and South Fork White River to the jagged elevations of Derby Peak and Trappers Peak.

Outdoor recreation and conservation efforts are evident in the concentrated cluster of sites around the main lake, including Shepherds Rim Campground, Trapline Campground, and Cutthroat Campground. An extensive network of primitive paths, such as the Arthur H Carhart Trail 1815.1 and Chinese Wall Trail 1803.1, provides the primary access through this roadless terrain, connecting numerous alpine basins like Wall Lake and Little Trappers Lake.
