Argentine Peak, Mountain summit in Colorado, US
Argentine Peak rises to an elevation of 13,743 feet within the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, marking the boundary between Clear Creek and Summit counties.
The mountain received its name from the Argentine District, Colorado's first major silver mining district, derived from the Latin word argentum for silver.
The peak stands as a testament to Colorado's mining heritage, with numerous abandoned mines and railroad grades scattered throughout the surrounding terrain.
Access to Argentine Peak requires a high-clearance vehicle to navigate Leavenworth Creek Road, which features three switchbacks before reaching the old railroad bed.
The mountain sits along the Continental Divide, offering views of Peru Creek while integrating former mining roads into the present-day Continental Divide Trail.
