Peak 10

Peak 10 is a mountain summit in the Tenmile Range located at 13,422 feet (4,090 meters) with multiple climbing routes crossing its granite slopes. The terrain offers routes of varying difficulty suitable for climbers with different skill levels.

The summit served as a navigation landmark for miners during the Colorado Silver Boom of the 1880s, helping them move between mining operations. This mining heritage became an important reference point in early maps of the region.

Local mountaineering groups organize annual climbing events to Peak 10, promoting responsible high-altitude hiking practices among Colorado outdoor communities.

Start your ascent before sunrise during summer months to avoid afternoon thunderstorms common at higher elevations. Weather conditions can shift rapidly, so proper equipment and careful planning are essential for a safe climb.

From the summit, visitors can view nine other peaks in the range, a pattern that reflects how the mountain earned its name. This visual sequence of mountains provides a special perspective on the geography that numbered climbers for generations.
