Jupiter Mountain, Mountain summit in San Juan National Forest, Colorado
Jupiter Mountain rises to an elevation of 13,836 feet in the Needle Mountains range of the Rocky Mountains in North America.
The mountain received its name from early surveyors, and its north face features four couloirs named after the moons of planet Jupiter.
Located within the Weminuche Wilderness, Jupiter Mountain stands as the 92nd highest peak in Colorado, drawing mountaineers from across the region.
