Mount Blaurock, Mountain summit in Chaffee County, Colorado, United States
Mount Blaurock is a mountain summit in the Collegiate Peaks of the Sawatch Range, located within the Rocky Mountains. The peak stands at about 13,600 feet and sits in the heart of Colorado's high country.
The peak takes its name from Carl Blaurock, a mountaineer who founded the Colorado Mountain Club in the early 20th century. His passion for reaching Colorado's highest summits left a lasting mark on the state's climbing tradition.
The mountain stands as a testament to Colorado's mountaineering heritage, drawing climbers who follow the traditions established by early Rocky Mountain explorers.
You can reach the mountain using the North Fork Clear Creek trail, which starts at around 10,500 feet. High-clearance vehicles are recommended for accessing the trailhead in this remote area.
The northeast face holds several steep ski runs that attract winter enthusiasts looking beyond crowded slopes. The mountain's remote location means these routes see far fewer skiers compared to more popular areas.
