Blanca Peak, Mountain summit in Sangre de Cristo Range, Colorado, US
The granite peak rises 4,374 meters above sea level, forming part of the Sierra Blanca Massif in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range.
The Wheeler Survey team completed the first recorded climb to the summit in 1874, discovering evidence of earlier stone structures at the top.
The Navajo people recognize this mountain as Sisnaajiní, the Sacred Mountain of the East, marking the eastern boundary of their traditional homeland.
Climbers reach the summit through Lake Como Road trailhead, requiring proper mountaineering equipment and attention to rapidly changing weather conditions.
The mountain contains geological formations dating back 1.8 billion years, with pre-Cambrian granite compositions different from surrounding Permian rock structures.
