Jacque Peak, Mountain summit in Gore Range, Colorado, US
Jacque Peak is a summit in the Gore Range located between Copper Mountain and Highway 91 in Colorado. The terrain consists mostly of open plateaus and ridges that form an alpine tundra landscape with wide views across the surrounding mountains.
Jacque Peak is a 13,211-foot thirteener in the Gore Range, within White River National Forest, 1.6 miles south by east of Copper Mountain in Summit County. The Italian Wikipedia gives its height as 4,026 metres. The sources record no climbing history, first ascent or named route.
The peak's name is sometimes rendered as "Jacque" in English sources and as ژاک پیک in Urdu, a reminder of how mountain names travel between languages. It stands 1.6 miles south by east of Copper Mountain resort, so skiers based there see it as the mountain on the skyline above town.
Access starts from Colorado Highway 91, with the hiking season running mainly from early summer through early fall. Warm clothing and precautions for alpine conditions are needed since weather can change quickly at this elevation.
From the summit you can see both the Tenmile Range and Mount of the Holy Cross, two mountain chains normally visible from separate vantage points. This dual view makes the location a special spot for photography.
