Comanche Point

The 7,073-foot elevation peak stands within the Palisades of the Desert, rising 4,400 feet above the Colorado River over a 1.5-mile distance.

Originally known as Bissel Point after a railroad company official, the location received its current name in 1932 to recognize the Comanche Native American tribe.

The Pueblo Indians who lived in the region maintained historical connections to this area, sharing territorial boundaries with the Comanche people.

Hikers can reach the summit by following the Cape Solitude road for 2.25 miles north until a junction, then taking the left path toward the point.

At the summit, visitors encounter a large rock cairn containing a register box, accompanied by natural remnants including antlers and spinal bones.
