The San Juan Wilderness in the Colorado Rocky Mountains
This is the San Juan Wilderness in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Along the horizon starting on the left is Gramps Peak (12,340 ft ) then Charleys Peak ( 11,677 ft) and then on the right is Conejos Peak (13,173 ft).
On the other side of this ridge lies the Continental Divide and this entire image is all within the Rio Grande National Forest.
This ridgeline in the immediate foreground is called the Roaring Gulch.
This image is from my ongoing project in which I am trying to raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain unpopulated wilderness.
Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us.

The United States Congress designated the South San Juan Wilderness (map) in 1980 and it now has a total of 160,999 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Colorado and is managed by the Forest Service.

I actually have a plan for all of this I am working on... and I have thought about doing a coffee table book, in a couple of sizes, really big and kinda big :) ....
