Neota Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Roosevelt National Forest, Colorado.
The Neota Wilderness extends across 9,900 acres of mountainous terrain with elevations reaching above 12,000 feet, featuring granite ridges and dense forest landscapes.
The United States Congress designated Neota as a protected wilderness area in 1980 through the Colorado Wilderness Act, incorporating it into the National Wilderness Preservation System.
The preservation of Neota Wilderness reflects the American commitment to maintaining untouched natural spaces where visitors can experience complete separation from modern civilization.
Navigation within Neota Wilderness requires advanced orienteering skills and paper maps, as the area contains limited maintained trails and cellular reception is unreliable.
Three main water channels - Trap Creek, Corral Creek, and Neota Creek - converge near Iron Mountain, creating diverse ecosystems for local wildlife populations.
