The San Miguel Range, in the San Juan Mountains near Telluride, Colorado, is home to three fourteeners: Wilson Peak (of Coors beer label fame), Wilson Mountain, and El Diente. The range is encompassed by the Lizard Head Wilderness.

While most of the San Miguel Range is composed of shale and sandstone deposited in the Cretaceous Seaway which covered most of Colorado between about 110-75 million years ago, the spire of Lizard Head Peak is made up of volcanic breccia and lava flows from about 26 million years ago. All of this was carved by glaciation in the last 5 million years [source].
