Y compris la plupart de la gamme de Sawatch, le Collegate Peaks Wilderness Area est délimité par la Leadville – Buena Vista à l’est et le peuplier faux-tremble – Crested Butte à l’Ouest. La région comprend cinq sommets de plus de 14 000 pieds. Cette région sauvage sert comme un tournant important qui chevauche le continental divide, notamment l’Arkansas, Gunnison et Roaring Fork rivières.
