Wilson Peak is a {{convert|14023|ft|m|0|adj=on}} mountain peak in the U.S. state of Colorado. It is located in the Lizard Head Wilderness of the Uncompahgre National Forest, in the southern San Juan Mountains. It is the highest point in San Miguel County.

Its base is accessible by four wheel drive roads {{convert|11|mi|km|0}} west of Telluride, Colorado.

Geography

Wilson Peak is in the western part of the San Juan Mountains. The western San Juans are also known as the San Miguel Mountains or the Wilson Massif. Two additional fourteen thousand foot peaks are within {{convert|2|mi|km|0}} of its summit: Mount Wilson ({{convert|14256|ft|m|0}}) and El Diente Peak ({{convert|14159|ft|m|0}}). Gladstone Peak ({{convert|13913|ft|m|0}}) is located on the ridge between Wilson Peak and Mount Wilson.

Recreation

Wilson Peak is climbed by hundreds each year, primarily in summer months, but winter ascents are not unusual and sometimes serve as the beginning of backcountry skiing descents. Summer ascents of the peak are considered Class 3 technical climbs, meaning that scrambling over rock is required (with hand holds being used for balance) and ropes typically not employed.

The easiest traditional route begins at the end of the Silver Pick Road, climbs south through Silver Pick Basin to the Rock of Ages Saddle (between Silver Pick and Navajo Basins) at {{convert|13100|ft|m|-1}}, then east to {{convert|13200|ft|m|-1}} on the saddle between Gladstone and Wilson Peaks, then finally northeast to the summit. Round trip distance is {{convert|8|mi|km|0}}. 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. Government signs now warn against trespassing along the traditional route.

In popular culture

The stately and classically mountainous profile of Wilson Peak as viewed from the East and North has led to its use as a symbol of rugged mountains in advertising. Wilson Peak features prominently in many television advertisements for Coors Brewing Company which is located in Golden, Colorado. The Jeep automobile corporation also often uses Wilson Peak as a backdrop in its television commercials, particularly in advertisements for its off-road models.

Wilson Peak is featured prominently in Quentin Tarantino's movie The Hateful Eight.[4]

Because of its proximity to Telluride, Colorado, many local companies and festivals use images of Wilson Peak in the advertising to convey the beauty and mountainous nature of the area.
