Humboldt Peak, Mountain peak in Sangre de Cristo Range, Colorado, United States.

Humboldt Peak is a 14,066.6-foot (4,287 m) summit of the Crestones in the Sangre de Cristo Range, within the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness of San Isabel National Forest, 11.9 miles south-southwest of Westcliffe in Custer County, Colorado. The Crestones cluster also includes Crestone Peak, Crestone Needle, Kit Carson Peak, Challenger Point, and Columbia Point.

The peak takes its name from Alexander von Humboldt, a German naturalist from the early 19th century who traveled extensively across the Americas. His name was given to many places throughout North and South America in recognition of his work connecting geography, climate, and plant life.

Humboldt Peak is one of the Crestones, a cluster of high summits that also includes Crestone Peak, Crestone Needle, Kit Carson Peak, Challenger Point and Columbia Point. The peak was named in honor of German naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt.

The standard route begins at South Colony Lakes basin and follows the West Ridge up to the top. The final stretch involves moving over loose rock, so sturdy footwear and an early start before afternoon storms are strongly recommended.

Humboldt Peak sits right next to the Crestone Peaks and Crestone Needle, two of the most technically demanding fourteeners in Colorado. This makes the South Colony Lakes area one of the most concentrated gathering points of high summits anywhere in the state.
