From the A Wilderness Legacy panel:
The mountains in front of you were first set aside by the Secretary of Agriculture in 1932 as Wilson Mountains Primitive Area. In 1980, Congress reaffirmed this protection by establishing the 41,196-acre Lizard Head Wilderness through the passage of the Colorado Wilderness Act.
Lizard Head Wilderness offers outstanding opportunities for solitude as well as access to three “fourteeners” – Wilson Peak (14,017’), El Diente (14,159’), and Mount Wilson (14,246’.) The area is open to foot and horse travel, but is closed to all motorized or mechanized means of travel.
