Emerald Peak, Mountain summit in Sawatch Range, Colorado, USA.
Emerald Peak rises to an elevation of 13,911 feet within the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness of San Isabel National Forest in Colorado.
The peak's location played a role in Colorado's mining industry during the 19th century, when prospectors searched the surrounding areas for valuable minerals.
Local mountaineering groups organize regular expeditions to Emerald Peak, contributing to Colorado's strong tradition of high-altitude hiking and climbing activities.
Visitors need specialized mountain gear and acclimatization time before attempting the summit, which requires technical climbing skills and proper weather monitoring.
The mountain maintains a permanent snowfield near its summit, creating distinct geographical features that separate it from neighboring peaks in the range.
