    Tips

    July 7, 2023

    The Buffalo Peaks Wilderness encompasses over 40,000 acres and has a different "feel" from the other wilderness areas around the Sawatch and Mosquito mountain ranges. This wilderness area is much less visited than others (probably due to accessibility and proximity to larger cities), which means it offers more solitude than a lot of other outdoor spaces.



    Wilderness areas have different rules than other outdoor spaces (such as state parks and national forests) so it's best to be prepared for backcountry travel, and make sure to always follow LNT principles in these more fragile environments. If you want to experience the alpine wilderness without too many crowds, the Buffalo Peaks could be what you're looking for.
