Tabeguache Peak, Mountain summit in Chaffee County, United States.
Tabeguache Peak is a 14,157-foot (4,318-meter) summit in Colorado's Sawatch Range, surrounded by alpine tundra vegetation and coniferous forest zones at lower elevations. The climb demands technical skill and proper mountaineering equipment due to steep terrain and exposure on upper sections.
The region was home to the Tabeguache, a Ute Indian band, long before European settlement in Colorado. The peak's name honors these original inhabitants who used the mountain ranges for hunting and trade routes.
Local communities maintain a network of trails and facilities around the peak, supporting mountaineering traditions throughout the changing seasons.
The southwest-facing route from Highway 50 is technically challenging and requires experience with climbing gear and high-altitude conditions. Start early to allow time for acclimatization and choose stable weather windows for your attempt.
The summit sits so close to Mount Shavano that skilled climbers can reach both peaks in a single day. This pairing attracts many mountaineers seeking to accomplish multiple fourteeners efficiently.
