The Eagles Nest wilderness encompasses 133,688 acres on the White River and
Araphoe National Forests. Elevations within the wilderness range from 7,850 to 13,534
feet. Over 180 miles of constructed trails area available and they are maintained at
several levels of difficulty. Most of the area presents a mental and physical challenge
to the advanced hiker. Most of the trails within the wilderness end in high valleys , often beside beautiful alpine lakes. Only two trails actually cross the range, although unofficial routes cross some of the high passes.
