| The Mount Massive Wilderness, encompassing 18,000 acres, was designated by Congress in 1980. The name comes from the second highest peak in Colorado, which has 7 summits over 14,000 ft. and is truly massive in size. With elevations between 9,700 and 14,400, much of the area is above timberline with alpine communities and a permanent snowfield.Native greenback cutthroat trout have been recently reintroduced in the Rock Creek drainage, where fishing is limited to catch and release. This includes Native Lake. No special restrictions are in place for Windsor Lake. |
