In wilderness, I can feel myself breathe; I can hear my heart beat; I can touch my thoughts.

Our "Wild Ten" List of Potential Wilderness Areas

We selected the following areas from over 100 citizen-inventoried Central Colorado roadless areas based on wilderness characteristics, wildlife habitat and connectivity, and ecological diversity.

Choosing the “Wild Ten” was no easy task. We wanted to protect and preserve all the areas, but we couldn't. So here is the "Wild Ten" (actually eleven, now) and their approximate sizes:

Badger Creek 19,250 acres
Beaver Creek 38,450 acres
Browns Canyon 35,000 acres
Buffalo Peaks Wilderness Additions 32,300 acres
Farnum Peak 17,800 acres
Grape Creek 44,200 acres
McIntyre Hills 17,900 acres
Pikes Peak West 18,500 acres
Table Mountain 20,000 acres
Thirtynine Mile Mountain 12,500 acres
Weston Peak 20,600 acres
