Pyramid Peak, Mountain summit in Pitkin County, United States.

Rising to 4,273 meters, Pyramid Peak features steep cliffs and sedimentary red rocks within the Elk Mountains range of the Rocky Mountains system.

Percy Hagerman and Harold Clark achieved the first documented climb of Pyramid Peak in 1909, establishing initial routes through its challenging terrain.

The mountain stands within the White River National Forest and Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, representing Colorado's natural preservation initiatives.

Access to the mountain requires starting from Maroon Lake Trailhead at 9,590 feet, with mandatory shuttle services operating during summer peak periods.

Physicist Heinz Pagels lost his life on Pyramid Peak in 1988 near the Aspen Center for Physics, where he conducted research during summer months.
