Sultan Mountain, Mountain summit in San Juan County, Colorado, US.
Sultan Mountain rises to an elevation of 13,373 feet within the San Juan Mountains range, featuring pine-covered slopes that transition into alpine tundra terrain.
During the late 1800s, miners established numerous settlements near Sultan Mountain while extracting minerals from deposits throughout the surrounding landscape.
The mountain's name potentially derives from its resemblance to Ottoman Turkish headdresses, along with its neighboring peak called Grand Turk.
The primary hiking route starts at Little Molas Lake, located seven miles south of Silverton on Route 550, progressing steadily toward the peak.
The mountain receives precipitation throughout all seasons, with snow in winter and thunderstorms in summer, experiencing a brief dry period in late spring.
