}}Latir Peak Wilderness is a {{convert|20506|acre|ha|sing=on}} wilderness area located within the Carson National Forest in northern New Mexico, United States. Designated in 1980, the wilderness is composed of dense forest, meadows, and alpine tundra on Latir Mesa in the northern portion.[1] It includes a portion of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and contains four of the state's twenty highest peaks - Venado Peak at {{convert|12734|ft|m|0}}, Latir Peak at {{convert|12708|ft|m|0}}, Latir Mesa at {{convert|12692|ft|m|0}}, and Virsylvia Peak at {{convert|12594|ft|m|0}}.[2] Most of the area is drained by the Lake Fork of Cabresto Creek, which originates at Heart Lake and is impounded just outside the wilderness in Cabresto Lake, the main trailhead for visitors entering the wilderness.[3]
