Mount Julian

Mount Julian is a summit in the northern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains within the national park in Colorado. The peak rises to approximately 12,900 feet (3,935 meters) and displays exposed granite and gneiss rock formations.

The peak was named after Julian Hayden, an engineer who contributed to the early development of Estes Park in the late 1800s. The area became part of Rocky Mountain National Park when it was established in 1915 to protect the mountain landscape.

The mountain forms part of Rocky Mountain National Park's wilderness area, established in 1915 to protect Colorado's natural mountain landscapes.

The summit can be reached by hiking trails from various entry points within the national park. Start early and prepare for changing weather conditions, as the high elevation means conditions can shift rapidly throughout the day.

The mountain maintains an isolation distance of 6.19 miles and requires navigation through dense undergrowth and challenging bushwhacking routes.
