Summary

Description
English: The Red Cloud Peak Wilderness Study Area contains 30 mountain peaks over 13,000 feet (4,000 m) in elevation and two peaks over 140,000 feet (43,000 m): Red Cloud Peak (14,034 feet (4,278 m)) and Sunshine Peak (14,001 feet (4,268 m)). In the upper portion of the drainages, the mountainous terrain, with its expanses of alpine tundra and open scenic vistas, projects feelings of vastness and solitude.

Lower elevations are often heavily forested and create a feeling of total seclusion. Volcanic and Precambrian rock types are intermingled and glacial geomorphology is highly evident. There are also several rock glacier formations, alpine lakes, and streams in this WSA. The WSA is home to many wildlife species, including Red-tailed and Cooper’s hawks, prairie falcons, doves, quail, songbirds, mule deer, gray and kit fox, rock squirrels, jackrabbits, and several reptilian species.

Activities include hiking, backpacking, camping, mountain climbing, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, and photography.
