Peak 10

Peak 10 stands at an elevation of 13,422 feet within the Tenmile Range, featuring multiple climbing routes across its steep granite slopes.

The peak became a significant marker for miners during the Colorado Silver Boom of the 1880s, serving as a navigation point between mining camps.

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

Climbers need to start their ascent before dawn during summer months to avoid afternoon thunderstorms that frequently occur above 12,000 feet.

The summit offers direct views of nine other peaks in the range, creating a natural counting sequence that matches its numerical name.
