Mount Sniktau

Mount Sniktau reaches an elevation of 13,240 feet and stands as part of the Front Range in the Rocky Mountains, northeast of Loveland Pass.

The mountain bears the pen name of Edwin Patterson, a journalist who worked for the Colorado Miner newspaper in Georgetown during the 1860s.

The mountain was considered for the 1976 Winter Olympics alpine ski racing events before organizers determined it did not meet competition standards.

The Mount Sniktau trail begins at Loveland Pass parking lot at 12,000 feet elevation and extends two miles with a 1,000-foot gain.

The drainage from Mount Sniktau flows through Clear Creek into multiple river systems before reaching the Gulf of Mexico.
