Hermit Peak, Mountain summit in San Miguel County, New Mexico, US.
Hermit Peak rises to 10,267 feet within the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, featuring steep cliffs on its eastern and southern sides, with a broad plateau at the top.
Italian missionary Giovanni Maria de Agostini lived in a cave near the summit from 1863 to 1866, constructing a rock wall at the entrance for protection.
The mountain displays natural rock formations that create the profile of a face looking skyward, complete with distinguishable features like forehead, nose, and chin.
The main trail to reach the summit begins at El Porvenir Trailhead and extends 9.5 miles through wooded areas before reaching the exposed summit plateau.
In 2022, the peak became the namesake of the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire, which grew into the largest recorded wildfire in New Mexico history.
