Fletcher Mountain

Fletcher Mountain is a summit in Colorado's Tenmile Range with steep rocky slopes and sparse alpine vegetation near the top. The peak sits at a high elevation where views extend across neighboring mountains and valleys.

Mining operations were established on its slopes during the 19th-century Colorado mining boom. Remnants of this activity remain visible along climbing routes today.

Local mountaineering groups organize regular expeditions to Fletcher Mountain, teaching climbers about alpine ecosystems and mountain safety protocols.

The Blue Lakes trail provides the main access route to this peak. Parking is available at the lower trailhead, and hikers should plan for a substantial climb with elevation gain.

Mining remnants from the 1800s cross the mountain and form part of the climbing paths today. Visitors who pay attention will notice old structures and paths woven into the natural landscape.
