Mount Olympus and Twin Peaks Wilderness Map

The Mount Olympus and Twin Peaks Wilderness Map produced by the US Forest Service contains the most up-to-date information on access roads, trails, campsites, terrain, and points of interest within the Mount Olympus and Twin Peaks Wilderness areas. All wilderness maps contain contour lines, and the vast majority contain a topographic quad index,
planning tips and contact phone numbers.

One of three Wilderness areas that form a spectacular backdrop for the Salt Lake Valley southeast of Salt Lake City, Mount Olympus Wilderness consists of narrow canyons and rugged terrain varying from moderate to severe. High peaks include Mount Raymond, Gobbler's Knob, and Mount Olympus itself, topping off at 9,793 feet. Elevations range approximately from 5,000 feet to 10,000 feet. The higher country is characterized by large, alpine cirque basins and bare rocky ridges. The higher elevations often has snow until midsummer in the higher elevations.

Twin Peaks Wilderness forms a part of the dramatic backdrop you see on the east side of the Salt Lake Valley, southeast of Salt Lake City. Originally carved by glaciation and currently remodeled by erosion, this area consists of narrow canyons and high peaks (including Twin Peaks, Superior Peak, and Dromedary Peak) that combine to form a rugged and spectacular display. Elevations range from just under 5,000 feet to 11,319 feet on Twin Peaks. Much of the higher terrain is classified as alpine and characterized by large cirque basins and exposed rocky ridges.

State Route 190 follows Big Cottonwood Creek along the northern boundary and separates this Wilderness from Mount Olympus Wilderness to the north. The canyons of both these creeks are highly scenic, and you'll find trailheads along both routes. Trails are relatively easy to follow, but they become more strenuous in the higher country. Crowds of people are common all year, especially on weekends. The wilderness is within the Salt Lake City Watershed and has restrictions on dogs, horses and swimming.
