Ute Mountain, Sacred mountain peak in Montezuma County, Colorado.
Ute Mountain rises to an elevation of 9,984 feet with steep slopes covered in pinyon pine, ponderosa pine, aspen, and Douglas fir forest.
The Weeminuche Ute band established their connection to this mountain through treaties in the late 19th century, securing the entire range within their reservation.
The mountain profile forms the shape of a Ute chief at rest, with distinct features visible from distances between 15 to 25 miles.
The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe maintains strict access regulations, with limited roads and trails available throughout the mountain range.
The mountain formation dates back 72 million years, consisting primarily of porphyritic hornblende diorite and various igneous rock formations.
