Handies Peak #Wilderness Study Area in #Colorado is breathtaking in the summer. Handies Peak rises 14,048 feet over the area, and this vibrant wilderness also hosts three major canyons, glacial cirques and three alpine lakes. #HandiesPeak is one of more than 500 wilderness study areas — lands unspoiled by roads or other development that provide outstanding opportunities for solitude.
