Castle Peak, Mountain summit in Sawatch Range, Colorado
Castle Peak reaches an elevation of 14,272 feet with a distinctive outline that stands prominently against the Colorado skyline in the Sawatch Range.
The United States Geological Survey team led by Ferdinand Hayden completed the first documented ascent of Castle Peak during their 1873 exploration mission.
The mountain serves as a meeting point between Gunnison National Forest and White River National Forest, representing Colorado's natural heritage through generations.
Climbers access Castle Peak through established routes from June to September, when weather conditions typically allow safer ascents to the summit.
A permanent snowfield called Montezuma Glacier connects Castle Peak to its northern companion, Conundrum Peak, creating a natural bridge between summits.
