Quandary Peak, Mountain summit in Summit County, United States
Quandary Peak rises to an elevation of 4,350 meters as the highest point of the Tenmile Range in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
The geological formations of Quandary Peak, composed primarily of quartzite and granite, developed through millions of years of tectonic activity in the Rocky Mountains.
The mountain serves as a recreational destination for mountaineers who participate in the Colorado tradition of climbing all 58 peaks exceeding 14,000 feet.
Visitors must reserve parking spots at the trailhead during peak season and should begin their ascent before sunrise to avoid afternoon thunderstorms.
The East Ridge route leads hikers through distinct environmental zones, from dense forest to alpine tundra, where mountain goats frequently gather near the summit.
