Lone Cone, Mountain summit in San Miguel Mountains, United States.

Lone Cone Mountain rises to 12,618 feet in elevation, forming the westernmost peak of the San Juan Mountains range in Colorado.

The mountain underwent a name change from West Point to its current designation Lone Cone in 1906, marking a significant geographical reference point.

Native American tribes established settlements near the mountain, leaving archaeological evidence of their presence throughout the surrounding valleys and slopes.

Visitors need high-clearance vehicles to reach the trailhead, located 11.6 miles south on County Road 44ZS from Highway 145 near Norwood.

The mountain formed as a laccolith between 20 and 40 million years ago, creating its distinctive conical shape visible from miles across the region.
