Wheeler Geologic Area

Located West of Alamosa in the Rio Grande National Forest, Wheeler Geological Area is a breathtaking destination for those willing to put in the extra distance. Wheeler is accessible by a 7-mile hike or a challenging 14-mile four-wheel-drive road. The site features striking volcanic landscapes in a truly beautiful, yet remote area. Inquire further by visiting the National Forest Service’s website below.
