Magic Moments on Public Lands | COME TO LIFE Magic Moments on Colorado’s Public Lands There’s nothing like a hike through rugged, untamed wilderness or a peaceful picnic amid colorful wildflowers to awaken the imagination and stir the senses. COMMUNE WITH THE SUBTLE CHARMS OF THE WEMINUCHE WILDERNESS AREA. At nearly 500,000 acres near Durango, Silverton and Pagosa Springs, it’s our largest wilderness area. Its quiet features draw you in: Snowshoe rabbits scampering across a path. Beavers slapping tails on the water. The shaking of a tree branch when a rose finch has just departed it.
