About

Twilight Peak is a summit in San Juan County, Colorado, inside the Weminuche Wilderness on the San Juan National Forest. It falls within the Columbine Ranger District, managed by the Forest Service, and the nearest town is Silverton, about 11 miles away. Because the peak sits in designated wilderness, plan for a backcountry outing on public land. Close by, Spud Lake is about 2.6 miles away and McCauley Peak about 2.8 miles. Lime Creek, a paddling run, is roughly 2 miles off. For an overnight base, Little Molas Lake Campground is about 5.7 miles away.
