Mount Mestas, Mountain summit in Sangre de Cristo Range, Colorado, US.

Mount Mestas is a summit in the Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains, rising to 11,573 feet (3,527 m) in Huerfano County, southeastern Colorado. It lies 3.2 miles (5.1 km) southeast of North La Veta Pass, at a bearing of 131 degrees.

The summit was recorded as La Veta Peak in 1908 and also carried names such as Mt. Baldy and Veta Mountain. In 1949 it was renamed Mount Mestas in honor of PFC Felix B. Mestas Jr., killed in action during the Second World War.

The name recalls PFC Felix B. Mestas Jr., killed in action in the Second World War; the peak was renamed for him in 1949, replacing La Veta Peak. Earlier labels on maps included Mt. Baldy, Baldy Peak, Veta Mountain and Veta Peak, so the summit carries several names in local records.

Access to the summit starts from a picnic area at lower elevation, with visitors following steep terrain over loose rock for the entire climb. The route works best during dry months when the ground offers better footing.

The eastern face of this peak drops steeply away, creating a sharp visual boundary between the mountains and the plains far below. This dramatic slope makes it easily recognizable from distant viewpoints.
