Huron Peak, Mountain summit in Chaffee County, United States.
Huron Peak rises to 14,197 feet within the Sawatch Range of the Rocky Mountains, featuring steep slopes and exposed rock formations.
The mountain received its name from early settlers in the 1800s who connected it to the Huron River system in the region.
The peak forms part of Colorado's collection of Fourteeners, mountains exceeding 14,000 feet that serve as milestones for mountain climbers.
Accessing the summit requires a 9-mile round trip from Huron Trailhead through San Isabel National Forest, with summer offering optimal climbing conditions.
The summit provides views of three distinct wilderness areas: Collegiate Peaks, Mount Massive, and Hunter-Fryingpan from a single vantage point.
