Crystal Peak, Mountain summit in Summit County, Colorado
Crystal Peak rises to 13,860 feet in the Tenmile Range, featuring steep slopes and exposed rock formations along its hiking paths.
The peak gained recognition during the Colorado mining era when prospectors discovered substantial mineral deposits in the surrounding slopes during the 1800s.
Local mountaineering groups maintain detailed records of ascents and climbing routes, contributing to Colorado's mountain climbing documentation system.
Hikers access the summit through McCullough Gulch trailhead, requiring advance parking permits or shuttle service from Breckenridge Airport since July 2021.
The mountain contains numerous deposits of amazonite and smoky quartz crystals, attracting mineral collectors throughout the warmer months.
