Why it works

The La Garita Wilderness is one of Colorado's most remote and least-visited wilderness areas, with the Wheeler Geologic Area requiring a 14-mile round-trip hike to reach — accurate trail and terrain mapping is essential for navigation in this seldom-visited terrain. The CDT and Colorado Trail corridors add significant long-distance route coverage. Waterproof construction survives the San Juan Mountains' afternoon thunderstorms and the variable weather common in southern Colorado's high country.

Ideal for

Solitude seekers, CDT hikers, Colorado Trail users, and geology enthusiasts exploring the La Garita Wilderness and Wheeler Geologic Area in southern Colorado. See also NGTI140 (Weminuche Wilderness) for adjacent coverage to the south.
