American Flats Wilderness Study Area

A vast, stunningly beautiful expanse of high-alpine tundra offering limitless opportunities for off-trail hiking and exploration.

Discover a world above the trees in the American Flats. This immense, rolling alpine plateau between Ouray and Lake City is a paradise for adventurers seeking solitude and wide-open spaces. In summer, the tundra is covered in delicate wildflowers. The views of the surrounding San Juan Mountains are constant and dramatic. It's a place to wander freely and experience the raw, untamed beauty of the high country.
