Mount Phillips, Mountain summit in Sangre de Cristo Mountains, New Mexico, US.
Mount Phillips reaches an elevation of 11,741 feet with a prominence of 2,901 feet in the Cimarron Range of northern New Mexico.
The peak, originally named Clear Creek Mountain, received its current name in 1960 to honor Waite Phillips, who donated the land to Boy Scouts of America.
The summit attracts 20,000 scouts annually as part of the Philmont Scout Ranch program, making it a significant destination for youth outdoor education.
Access to Mount Phillips requires either Philmont Scout Ranch membership or entry through Cimarron State Park, with a day-use pass costing 5 dollars.
The mountain features a distinctive pink gneiss geological formation, visible through small boulders scattered along the hiking paths to the summit.
