Comanche Peak Wilderness

Comanche Peak Wilderness is a federally protected backcountry area in northern Colorado within the Roosevelt National Forest, bordering the northern edge of Rocky Mountain National Park. Established in 1980 and named for Comanche Peak, its most prominent summit, it encompasses 66,791 acres of rugged mountain country. The area is especially notable for its extensive trail system, with 121 miles of hiking trails, including routes that continue into the national park. Containing named peaks, lakes, rivers, and creeks, it is significant not only for remote scenery and recreation but also as part of a larger, connected mountain landscape rather than an isolated preserve.
