Mount Chiquita

Mount Chiquita is a summit in the Mummy Range within Rocky Mountain National Park, rising to about 13,075 feet. The mountain sits among alpine meadows that fill with wildflowers during the summer season.

The mountain came under protection when Rocky Mountain National Park was established in 1915. This creation safeguarded the natural features of the area for future generations.

Climbers often combine this peak with two neighboring summits into a single day route that connects three mountains. This approach is popular among mountaineers seeking to complete multiple ascents in one outing.

To reach this peak, drive Old Fall River Road to the Chapin Pass Trailhead, which typically opens after early July for hiking season. Plan for standard mountain hiking conditions and expect lingering snow at higher elevations early in the season.

This peak is the lowest thirteener in the park, a summit that reaches the 13,000-foot mark. This makes it a more accessible starting point for mountaineers exploring peaks at this elevation.
