The Creede-Mineral County Chamber of Commerce describes the Wheeler Geological Area as being “now at its prime in developing a truly singular panorama,” and describes how people can visit. The area consists of volcanic tuft that has been eroded in a variety of striking ways, and was originally designated as a National Monument by Theodore Roosevelt, although it was later transferred to the National Forest System and returned to the Forest Service.
