High plateau and deep canyons in the Flat Tops. Upon seeing the majesty of the Flat Tops Wilderness in its pristine state, Carhart decided that it would be better for the area to remain untouched. Forest Service official known as Arthur Carhart was sent to Trappers Lake, one of the lakes located in the Flat Tops Wilderness. Perhaps the most interesting thing about this wilderness is its history as it directly ties into what the country now knows as the Wilderness Act. It was designated in 1975 and is under the governance of the U.S. It’s located in two national forests: the Routt and White River national forests.
This enormous wilderness is over 235,000 acres in total, making it Colorado’s second-largest Wilderness Area.
In terms of land area, the Flat Tops Wilderness is definitely one of Colorado’s leading contenders.
