2017 Map of Tripod Peak

About this map

Teton National Forest encompasses this wilderness landscape, where the drainage systems of Cottonwood Creek and N Fork of Fish Creek converge. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Tripod Peak and the high-altitude Squaw Basin. Movement through this backcountry relies on established pack routes and cut-offs rather than traditional roads. The Cottonwood (Pack) trail serves as a primary artery, supplemented by the Spruce Creek Cut-Off and the Packsaddle Cut-Off near Dog Creek. This network of trails and numerous named waterways, including Hardscrabble Creek and Moosehorn Creek, illustrates the remote character of this region of Wyoming, where land use is focused on conservation and primitive recreation.
