About this map

White River National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape shown here, where the peaks of the Gore Range divide Eagle and Summit counties. This 2016 survey provides a record of the complex network of alpine trails and water bodies that characterize this portion of the Rockies. Named peaks like Keller Mtn and Red Peak tower over numerous glacial lakes, including the eponymous Willow Lakes and the isolated Snow Lake.

A robust trail system facilitates movement through this wilderness, with routes such as the Gore Range Trail, Boulder Creek Trail, and Slate Creek Trail connecting various drainages and basins. The mapping includes significant water resources from Slate Cr in the north to Gore Cr in the south, reflecting the area's role as a vital watershed. The inclusion of features like Bordoux Gulch and Blue Ridge Road on the eastern edge shows the transition toward more accessible terrain near the Blue River.
