Little Cone, Mountain summit in San Miguel Mountains range, Colorado, US
Little Cone stands at an elevation of 11,988 feet within Uncompahgre National Forest, rising 15 miles west of Telluride in San Miguel County.
The mountain formed during the Miocene epoch through underground magma intrusion, creating a distinctive laccolith structure in the San Juan volcanic field.
The mountain draws geologists and researchers who study its extensive deposits of vanadium and uranium within the Entrada Sandstone formations.
Visitors need to prepare for high altitude conditions and check weather forecasts before attempting the climb, as conditions can change rapidly.
The peak ranks fourth in prominence among San Miguel County mountains and contains multiple rock types including granogabbro, granodiorite, rhyolite, and microgabbro.
