Treasure Mountain Proposed Wilderness 

Treasure Mountain plugs the high-elevation gap between the South San Juan Wilderness and the Weminuche Wilderness on Wolf Creek Pass'west side. The 22,456-acre roadless area includes the site of the one-time proposed Wolf Creek Valley ski area. Ski area development would forever destroy the natural character of the West Fork Valley and forever sever the landscape link between the wilderness areas. This link provides a relatively continuous spruce-fir canopy between the two wilderness areas and consequently serves as an obvious corridor for interior type forest species.

Treasure Mountain fills a critical landscape gap between the Weminuche and South San Juan Wilderness Areas.
