Bennett Peak, Mountain summit in San Juan Mountains, Colorado, US
Bennett Peak stands at 13,209 feet in elevation, rising from the San Luis Valley with gentle slopes leading to its broad summit dome.
The peak was documented in early geographical surveys of Colorado's Rio Grande County, establishing its status as the highest point in the region.
The mountain serves as a centerpiece for local outdoor activities, drawing hikers and mountaineers throughout the permitted climbing seasons.
Access to Bennett Peak requires navigation through Forest Road 250 from Monte Vista, leading to Blowout Pass at an elevation of 11,800 feet.
