2022 Map of Trinchera Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

Trinchera Peak and the high ridges of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains form a dramatic natural boundary where the borders of Costilla, Huerfano, and Las Animas counties meet. This high-altitude landscape is defined by deep glacial features such as Beccerro Basin and Big Meadow, and a network of drainages including Trinchera Cr and El Poso Cr. The map details the transition between protected lands, specifically the Sangre De Cristo Conservation Area and the San Isabel National Forest. Local navigation relies on established routes through the steep terrain, such as the Baker Creek Trl and Blue Bear Road Trl, which connect various alpine water bodies like Wolf Lake and Blue Lakes. The presence of several 12,000-plus foot summits, including Cuatro Peak and Napoleon Peak, illustrates the formidable geography of this portion of southern Colorado.
