San Miguel Proposed Wilderness 

The 59,738-acre roadless area offers outstanding opportunities for primitive recreation and solitude in one of the most stunningly spectacular settings in all of Colorado. The San Miguel range consists of craggy and difficult summits between Molas and Lizard Head Passes. A generous network of trails laces the area, including a 20-mile segment of the Colorado Trail, offering hikers abundant opportunities for exploration. San Miguel occupies a key link in the landscape of intact spruce-fir forest ecosystems in the San Juans. The area¹s old-growth and mature spruce-fir forests fill the gap between similar forests in the Weminuche Wilderness to the southeast and the Lizard Head Wilderness directly northwest across Lizard Head Pass.
