Since the passage of the Wilderness Act of 1964, Congress has designated 41 wilderness areas in Colorado, totaling some 3.4 million acres ranging from desert sagebrush to alpine crags. In addition, other undeveloped areas and national parklands have been proposed for wilderness status. In its newly revised second edition, The Complete Guide to Colorado's Wilderness Areas continues to serve as the foremost guide to these magnificent wild places.

Presents wilderness recommendations for 54 wilderness study areas (WSAs) in the State of Colorado, which were developed from the findings of a 15-year wilderness study process by the Department of the Interior and Bureau of Land Management. Based on the Bureau's review of those studies, it has been concluded that 395,792 acres within 20 study areas should be designated as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System and that 376,030 acres within 46 study areas should be released from wilderness study for uses other than wilderness.
