Wilson Peak
Wilson Peak is a Colorado 14er in the southern San Juan Mountains. Two additional 14ers are within 2 miles of its summit: Mount Wilson and El Diente Peak. Summer ascents of the peak are considered Class 3. The easiest traditional route climbs south through Silver Pick Basin, although use of this route has come into question since 2004 when private landowners failed to come to an agreement with the US Forest Service regarding hiking access.
