    The Mount Massive Wilderness is a federally designated wilderness area in the Sawatch Range spanning 30,540 acres. It is home to Mount Massive, the highest peak in Colorado, which once had a rivalry with Mount Elbert, where hikers piled rocks on top of Massive’s summit to try and claim it was taller.
