South San Juan Wilderness, CO 2001

Created on December 22, 1980, when President Carter signed Public Law 96-560, the 127,721-acre South San Juan Wilderness is a geographically remote and primal territory. On September 23, 1979 a sow grizzly was killed near Blue Lake by a bow hunter. This was the last documented grizzly in Colorado. It is still possible that grizzlies inhabit remote areas of the South San Juan Wilderness. A thorough search in 1990 by the Colorado Division of Wildlife, and local residents failed to confirm the grizzly with sightings, but scat and other evidence was found.

Right you are Rick. Thanks for the correction. Yep, it's one of my favorites too...can't believe it's over a decade ago.

Thank you so much for these wonderful images. They evoke numerous memories. I grew up spending a whole lot of my youth in the South San Juan Wilderness Area. My dad's sheep pastured in the Middle and North Forks of the Conejos River. Oftentimes dad would take us fishing at the high lakes after tending to the sheep business.
