Mount Antero, Mountain summit in Chaffee County, Colorado, United States
Mount Antero reaches an elevation of 14,269 feet, standing as the highest point of the southern Sawatch Range in the Rocky Mountains.
The Pike Expedition conducted surveys of Mount Antero in 1806, documenting early exploration activities in the Colorado Territory.
The mountain bears the name of Chief Antero from the Uintah band of the Ute people, who worked for peaceful relations with American settlers.
Two main climbing routes access the summit: the eastern path from Browns Creek Trailhead and an alternative route starting from the former town of St. Elmo.
The mountain contains one of the largest deposits of aquamarine gemstones in North America, supporting continuous mining operations on its slopes.
