Torreys Peak, Mountain summit at Colorado Front Range, United States
Torreys Peak rises to 4,349 meters in elevation within Clear Creek and Summit Counties, featuring steep slopes and rocky ridges along the Continental Divide.
Charles C. Parry completed the first recorded ascent in 1861, naming the peak after botanist John Torrey, who later visited the site in 1872.
The Arapaho people named this mountain Heeniiyoowuu, meaning Ant Hills, reflecting their connection to the Colorado mountain landscape.
The standard route follows Grays Peak Trail from Stevens Gulch, while an alternative path starts at Loveland Pass, accessible via I-70 west from Denver.
The mountain connects with Grays Peak through a high-altitude saddle, allowing climbers to reach both summits in a single expedition during summer months.
