Redcloud Peak, Mountain summit in Hinsdale County, US
Redcloud Peak stands at 14,041 feet in elevation within the San Juan Mountains, featuring a northeast ridge that extends through Colorado's mountainous terrain.
The mountain received its first recorded ascent in 1874 by J.C. Spiller and maintained the name Red Mountain until officials designated it Redcloud Peak in 1906.
As Colorado's 46th highest peak, Redcloud Peak attracts mountaineers who aim to complete their collection of climbing all peaks above fourteen thousand feet.
The Silver Creek Trail leads hikers through a series of switchbacks to the summit, with the trailhead located 20 miles west of Lake City.
The mountain connects to neighboring Sunshine Peak via a ridge trail, allowing experienced hikers to summit two peaks above 14,000 feet in one expedition.
