Comanche Peak Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Roosevelt National Forest, Colorado.
The Comanche Peak Wilderness extends across 66,791 acres, featuring dense forests of ponderosa pine, aspen groves, and alpine tundra at higher elevations.
The United States Congress designated this section of Roosevelt National Forest as a wilderness preservation area in December 1980 through Public Law 96-560.
The wilderness maintains 121 miles of hiking paths, including 19 official trails that connect with Rocky Mountain National Park's extensive network.
Visitors require detailed maps and solid navigation skills as the terrain includes seven mountain peaks and numerous unmarked routes through remote sections.
The Big South Fork of Cache la Poudre River forms Colorado's sole designated Wild and Scenic River system within the wilderness boundaries.
