Wilson Peak is a 14,023-foot (4,274 m) mountain peak in the U.S. state of Colorado. It is located in the Lizard Head Wilderness of the Uncompahgre National Forest, in the northwestern San Juan Mountains. It is the highest point in San Miguel County, and the third highest point of the Wilson massif, which includes nearby Mount Wilson and El Diente Peak. The mountain was named for A.D.
