Elevation in the Wilderness ranges from {{convert|8400|ft|m}} to {{convert|14309|ft|m}}, at the summit of Uncompahgre Peak.[3][4] Managed by the Uncompahgre National Forest, it is located approximately {{convert|5|mi|km}} northwest of the town of Lake City and some {{convert|10|mi|km}} east of the town of Ouray. The area is named for Uncompahgre Peak, which at {{convert|14309|ft|m}} is the highest peak in the San Juan Mountains. The Wilderness includes one other prominent fourteener, Wetterhorn Peak at {{convert|14015|ft|m}}. Mining claimLocated within the Uncompahgre Wilderness is the Robin Redbreast Gold Mine, owned by Robert and Marjorie Miller of Montrose, Colorado. Marjorie Miller's father staked the claims in 1938, more than 50 years before the land was designated Wilderness, and was preserved by the General Mining Act of 1872. The Forest Service has established requirements that would lessen mining impacts, such as reducing motorized vehicle use and night lighting. The Millers say workers will use picks and shovels to extract ore, haul it out with mule teams over existing trails, and use helicopters to deliver larger equipment to avoid the impacts of truck use. Environmental groups have expressed concern that Acid Rock Drainage and the human footprint created by mining activities will degrade the Wilderness.[5] Notes1. ^{{cite gnis|2035331|Uncompahgre Wilderness}} {{Protected areas of Colorado|state=collapsed}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Benson|first=Maxine|title=1001 Colorado Place Names|location=Lawrence|publisher=University Press of Kansas|year=1994|isbn=0-7006-0632-7}} 3. ^{{cite web |title=Uncompahgre Wilderness |publisher=Wilderness.net |url=http://www.wilderness.net/index.cfm?fuse=NWPS&sec=wildView&wname=Uncompahgre%20Wilderness |accessdate=August 12, 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=Uncompahgre Wilderness Area |publisher=Colorado Wilderness |url=http://www.coloradowilderness.com/wildpages/uncompahgre.html |accessdate=August 12, 2012}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.hcn.org/servlets/hcn.Article?article_id=17044# |title=A gold mine in the Colorado wilderness? |first=Morgan |last=Heim |publisher=High Country News |location=Paonia, CO |date=May 31, 2007 |accessdate=August 12, 2012}} 7 : Protected areas of Gunnison County, Colorado|Protected areas of Hinsdale County, Colorado|IUCN Category Ib|Protected areas of Ouray County, Colorado|Wilderness Areas of Colorado|Protected areas established in 1980|Uncompahgre National Forest |
